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. BUG=chrome-os-partner:43091 BRANCH=None TEST=Run suspend_stress_test and ensure there is no hang SMI handler on suspend-path.
