Commit:24e4ad7 (OvmfPkg: Add AmdSevDxe driver) added a driver which runs
early in DXE phase and clears the C-bit from NonExistent entry -- which
is later split and accommodate the flash MMIO. When SMM is enabled, we
build two sets of page tables; first page table is used when executing
code in non SMM mode (SMM-less-pgtable) and second page table is used
when we are executing code in SMM mode (SMM-pgtable).
During boot time, AmdSevDxe driver clears the C-bit from the
SMM-less-pgtable. But when SMM is enabled, Qemu Flash services are used
from SMM mode.
In this patch we explicitly clear the C-bit from Qemu flash MMIO range
before we probe the flash. When OVMF is built with SMM_REQUIRE then
call to initialize the flash services happen after the SMM-pgtable is
created and processor has served the first SMI. At this time we will
have access to the SMM-pgtable.
