commit 83b085471902a24bfa951ea257bb92a75579b224
Author: Duncan Laurie <dlaurie at chromium.org>

    SMM: Pass the ACPI GNVS pointer via state save map
    
    Instead of hijacking some random memory addresses to
    relay the GNVS pointer to SMM we can use EBX register
    during the write to APM_CNT register when the SMI is
    triggered.
