+// This table to declare the generic SMM communication buffer location.
+// If this table is present, it means the SMM communication buffer is restricted to
+// EfiReservedMemoryType, EfiACPIMemoryNVS, or EfiRuntimeServicesData.
+//
+// This table is installed to UEFI configuration table by generic driver
+// or platform driver, at early DXE phase.
+//
+// The EFI_MEMORY_DESCRIPTOR entry must contain at least one entry.
+// The entries must be normal memory region in EfiReservedMemoryType, EfiACPIMemoryNVS,
+// or EfiRuntimeServicesData.
+// If the Entry.Type is EfiConventionalMemory, it means this entry is free to use.
+// If the Entry.Type is other, it means this entry is occupied.
+//
+// Any non-SMM component may put communication data there, then use
+// UEFI defined SMM Communication ACPI Table, or PI defined EFI_SMM_COMMUNICATION_PROTOCOL
+// to communicate with SMI handler. The process is:
+// 1) Find an entry whose type is EfiConventional.
+// 2) Change type to be EfiReservedMemoryType before use.
+// 3) Use it.
+// 4) Restore type be EfiConventional.
+// The step 2) must be performed as an atomic transaction, if there might be conflict during runtime.
+// For example, on IA-32/x64 platforms, this can be done using the CMPXCHG CPU instruction.
+// If there is guarantee on no conflict during boot time, these steps can be skipped.
+// For example, DXE, UEFI driver and UEFI application runs in sequence.
+//
+// For example, FPDT driver can use this communication buffer to get SMM
+// performance data in SMM. Profile driver can use this communication buffer
+// to get SMM profile data in SMM.
