that assumes the SMRAM reserved range is only at the end of the SMRAM descriptor.
//
// This range has reserved area, calculate the left free size
//
gSmmCorePrivate->SmramRanges[Index].PhysicalSize = SmramResRegion->SmramReservedStart - gSmmCorePrivate->SmramRanges[Index].CpuStart;
Imagine the following scenario where we just reserve the first page of the SMRAM range:
SMRAM Descriptor:
Start: 0x80000000
Size: 0x02000000
Reserved Range:
Start: 0x80000000
Size: 0x00001000
In this case the adjustment to the SMRAM range size yields zero: ReservedStart - SMRAM Start is 0x80000000 - 0x80000000 = 0.
So even though most of the range is still free the IPL code decides its unusable.
The problem comes from the email thread: [edk2] PiSmmIpl SMRAM Reservation Logic.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bios.tianocore.devel/15268
Also to follow the idea in the email thread, the patch is to
1. Keep only one copy of full SMRAM ranges in gSmmCorePrivate->SmramRanges,
split record for SmmConfiguration->SmramReservedRegions and SMM Core that
will be marked to be EFI_ALLOCATED in gSmmCorePrivate->SmramRanges.
2. Handle SmmConfiguration->SmramReservedRegions at beginning of, at end of,
in the middle of, or cross multiple SmramRanges.

1. In PiSmmIpl.c, free FullSmramRanges at error condition.
2. Move pool and page management definitions and structures
from PiSmmCorePrivateData.h to PiSmmCore.h.
PiSmmCorePrivateData.h should be only used to share SMM_CORE_PRIVATE_DATA
between PiSmmCore and PiSmmIpl. Pool and page management definitions
and structures were moved from Pool.c and Page.c to PiSmmCorePrivateData.h
incorrectly for memory profile feature at EDK2 R16335 commit.
3. DumpSmramInfo() only used for memory profile, so move the declaration
into SmramProfileRecord.c.
