    intel/braswell: allow dirty cache line evictions for SMRAM to stick
    
    The BUNIT controls the policy for read/write access to physical
    memory. For the SMRAM range the policy was not allowing dirty
    evictions to the SMRAM when the core causing the eviction was not
    in SMM mode. This could happen when the SMM handler dirtied a line
    and then RSM'd back into non-SMM mode. The cache line was dirtied
    while in SMM mode, but when that particular cache line was evicted
    it would be silently dropped. Fix this by allowing the BUNIT to honor
    writes to the SMRAM range while the evicting core is not in SMM mode.
    The core SMRR msr provides the mechanism for disallowing general access
    to the SMRAM region while it is not in SMM mode.

    BRANCH=None
    TEST=Run suspend_stress_test and ensure there is no hang SMI handler
    on suspend-path.
