/** @file
  EFI SMM Control PPI definition.

  This PPI is used to initiate SMI/PMI activations. This protocol could be published by either:
  - A processor driver to abstract the SMI/PMI IPI
  - The driver that abstracts the ASIC that is supporting the APM port, such as the ICH in an
  Intel chipset
  Because of the possibility of performing SMI or PMI IPI transactions, the ability to generate this
  event from a platform chipset agent is an optional capability for both IA-32 and Itanium-based
  systems.
