When SMM CPU driver runs, PiSmmIpl resets the SMRAM to UC. It's done in SmmIplDxeDispatchEventNotify(). COMM_BUFFER_SMM_DISPATCH_RESTART is returned from SMM core that SMM CPU driver is just dispatched. Since now the SMRR is widely used to control the SMRAM cache setting. It's not needed to reset the SMRAM to UC anymore.
