Re: [PATCH v1 0/5] Abstract the detect/enable/disable of several x86 features

["Fan, Jeff" <jeff.fan@intel.com>]

Hi, Joseph

Abstracting the detect/enable operation on CPU SMM features is good idea on UefiCpuPkg.

Actually, we are planning to abstract as more as possible CPU features in one new library in UefiCpuPKg. It not only includes CPU SMM features, but also includes the non-SMM features.

We will work on it in the next a couple of months. We'd like to share some information here and I'd like to get the input from you. Does it make sense for you?

Thanks!
Jeff

Subject: [edk2] [PATCH v1 0/5] Abstract the detect/enable/disable of several x86 features

This series abstracts accesses to various x86 features.  Existing code used Intel specific MSR accesses to detect support and to enable/disable features.
