Of course this is just a silly side issue. The main reason for my post was to highlight your hypocrisy - "Everyone look! Some propretory BIOS has an SMM related vulnerability! The world, sooner or later, is going to get the message :-)". It's like a morbidly obese person laughing at how large a slightly chubby person is, or a heroin dealer complaining that alcohol should be banned because it's bad for your health. Not that SMM vulnerabilities are the only security holes in coreboot (you might want to do a web search for "blue pill" and consider implementing an "enable/disable VMX" option somewhere).
Well, then let's be glad that the SMM based vulnerabilities in coreboot have been fixed literally years ago.
