lynxpoint: split clearing and enabling of smm
Previously southbridge_smm_init() was provided that did both the clearing of the SMM state and enabling SMIs. This is troublesome in how haswell machines bring up the APs. The BSP enters SMM once to determine if parallel SMM relocation is possible. If it is possible the BSP releases the APs to do SMM relocation. Normally, after the APs complete the SMM relocation, the BSP would then re-enter the relocation handler to relocate its own SMM space. However, because SMIs were previously enabled it is possible for an SMI event to occur before the APs are complete or have entered the relocation handler. This is bad because the BSP will turn off parallel SMM save state. Additionally, this is a problem because the relocation handler is not written to handle regular SMIs which can cause an SMI storm which effectively looks like a hung machine. Correct these issues by turning on SMIs after all the SMM relocation has occurred.
