I've mostly been using SMMSTOREv2 w/UefiPayload+uefipayloadpkg on the CML
devices I've been working on here (both Google and other boards), with no
issues. But SMMSTORE (v1) should also work w/CorebootPayload. The
SMMSTORE region is 64k-aligned and 256k so don't see any issues with the
FMAP layout.
