Does anyone still need this? As far as I know it was just a hack invented to backport SMMSTORE onto a Chromebook that couldn't make FMAP changes anymore, and we never ended up using it after all. Anyone still using SMMSTORE today should be putting it in a separate FMAP section. Would anyone mind if I just remove the CBFS option?
From a technical standpoint, yes, we should remove this: Messing with files inside CBFS is frowned upon. From a practical perspective, I'm not sure those Chromebooks ended up being the only user of this option, so please wait a week for people to chime in. If there hasn't been any report that it's in fact needed, I'll gladly give you a CR+2 (well, I'd give +1000) to get rid of that option.
Looping in Matt DeVillier because he's probably the most active developer dealing with SMMSTORE these days through his Tianocore payload efforts.
