arch/x86/include/smm_call: improve documentation of call_smm
Since the inline assembly code in call_smm doesn't make it exactly obvious how this function to call the APMC SMI handler works in detail, add a more detailed explanation as comment.

/*

* calls into SMM with the given cmd and subcmd in eax, and arg in ebx
|
||||
* Call the APMC SMI handler that resides in SMM. First, the command and sub-command are stored
|
||||
* in eax, and the argument pointer is stored in ebx, then the command byte is written to the
|
||||
* APMC IO port to trigger the SMI. The APMC SMI handler then reads the command from the APMC
|
||||
* IO port and the contents of eax and ebx from the SMM state save area.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* static inline because the resulting assembly is often smaller than
|
||||
* the call sequence due to constant folding.
