x86/smm: Initialize SMM on some CPUs one-by-one
We currently race in SMM init on Atom 230 (and potentially other CPUs). At least on the 230, this leads to a hang on RSM, likely because both hyperthreads mess around with SMBASE and other SMM state variables in parallel without coordination. The same behaviour occurs with Atom D5xx. Change it so first APs are spun up and sent to sleep, then BSP initializes SMM, then every CPU, one after another. Only do this when SERIALIZE_SMM_INITIALIZATION is set. Set the flag for Atom CPUs.

+ On some CPUs, there is a race condition in SMM.
+ This can occur when both hyperthreads change SMM state
+ variables in parallel without coordination.
+ Setting this option serializes the SMM initialization
+ to avoid an ugly hang in the boot process at the cost
+ of a slightly longer boot time.
