Re: [PATCH v6] UefiCpuPkg\CpuSmm: Save & restore CR2 on-demand paging in SMM

["Vanguput, Narendra K" <narendra.k.vanguput@intel.com>]

Hi Ray,

While programming, I thought this cannot be 0 as in SDM, it says page-fault linear address.
>> CR2 - Contains the page-fault linear address (the linear address that caused a page fault).

So added a check for 0.

Now as the function is changed like program into CR2 register based on input parameter and checking for 0 is up to caller of this function. And also we don't need to require for checking 0 means, will remove it. Please confirm.

Thanks,
Naren

Can the "Cr2 != 0" be removed?
