    haswell: support for parallel SMM relocation
    
    The haswell processors support the ability to save their SMM state
    into MSR space instead of the memory. This feaure allows for parallel
    SMM relocation handlers as well as setting the same SMBASE for each
    CPU since the save state memory area is not used.
    
    The catch is that in order determine if this feature is available the
    CPU needs to be in SMM context. In order to implement parallel SMM
    relocation the BSP enters the relocation handler twice. The first time
    is to determine if that feature is available. If it is, then that
    feature is enabled the BSP exits the relocation handler without
    relocating SMBASE. It then releases the APs to run the SMM relocation
    handler. After the APs have completed the relocation the BSP will
    re-enter the SMM relocation handler to relocate its own SMBASE to the
    final location.  If the parallel SMM feature is not available the BSP
    relocates its SMBASE as it did before.
    
    This change also introduces the BSP waiting for the APs to relocate
    their SMBASE before proceeding with the remainder of the boot process.
    
    Ensured both the parallel path and the serial path still continue
    to work on cold, warm, and S3 resume paths.
