PiSmmCpuDxeSmm consumes SmmAttributesTable and setup page table:
1) Code region is marked as read-only and Data region is non-executable,
if the PE image is 4K aligned.
2) Important data structure is set to RO, such as GDT/IDT.
3) SmmSaveState is set to non-executable,
and SmmEntrypoint is set to read-only.
4) If static page is supported, page table is read-only.
We use page table to protect other components, and itself.
If we use dynamic paging, we can still provide *partial* protection.
And hope page table is not modified by other components.
The XD enabling code is moved to SmiEntry to let NX take effect.
