Hi Nate,

The 'PcdCpuSmmStaticPageTable' is only used in the X64 version of PageTbl.c  
that's why I updated only for 64 bit. SMM always builds static page table for 
IA32.
Please refer my previous mail for more details.

Thanks,
Narendra

> 
> For every SMI occurrence, save and restore CR2 register only when SMM on-
> demand paging support is enabled in 64 bit operation mode.
> This is not a bug but to have better improvement of code.
> 
> Patch5 is updated with separate functions for Save and Restore of CR2 based

> 
> Patch6 - Removed Global Cr2 instead used function parameter.
> 
> Patch7 - Removed checking Cr2 with 0 as per feedback.
> 
> Patch8 and 9 - Aligned with EDK2 Coding style.
