Update Notes

1. Update code to use CPU_FEATURE_THREE_STRIKE_COUNTER instead of CPU_FEATURE_THREE_STRICK_COUNTER from RegisterCpuFeaturesLib.h as BZ1642 fixed the typo.

2. Removed IntelFrameworkPkg and IntelFrameworkModulePkg. If platforms still use the components in those packages please use the below substitutions:

IntelFrameworkModulePkg/Library/BaseUefiTianoCustomDecompressLib/BaseUefiTianoCustomDecompressLib.inf
==>
MdePkg/Library/BaseUefiDecompressLib/BaseUefiTianoCustomDecompressLib.inf

IntelFrameworkModulePkg/Library/LzmaCustomDecompressLib/LzmaCustomDecompressLib.inf
==>
MdeModulePkg/Library/LzmaCustomDecompressLib/LzmaCustomDecompressLib.inf

IntelFrameworkModulePkg/Library/PeiDxeDebugLibReportStatusCode/PeiDxeDebugLibReportStatusCode.inf
==>
MdeModulePkg/Library/PeiDxeDebugLibReportStatusCode/PeiDxeDebugLibReportStatusCode.inf

IntelFrameworkModulePkg/Library/GenericBdsLib/GenericBdsLib.inf
==>
Switch to the MdeModulePkg BDS MdeModulePkg/Universal/BdsDxe/BdsDxe.inf and drop the above library

3. Removed several legacy framework modules in PcAtChipsetPkg. Platforms can use the below substitutions:

PcAtChipsetPkg/8259InterruptControllerDxe/8259.inf
PcAtChipsetPkg/8254TimerDxe/8254Timer.inf
==>
PcAtChipsetPkg/HpetTimerDxe/HpetTimerDxe.inf
(Please note that platform/silicon codes may still need to mask 8259 interrupts to avoid unexpected interrupts being triggered.)

PcAtChipsetPkg/IsaAcpiDxe/IsaAcpi.inf
==>
Platform specific Super IO bus driver
(An example for OVMF platform can be referred at OvmfPkg/SioBusDxe/SioBusDxe.inf)

4. Removed --nt32 option for edksetup.bat since Nt32Pkg has been removed.
   Added VS2017 VS2015 VS2013 VS2012 tool chain options for edksetup.bat to set up different VS environment.
   For example: when your dev machine has installed VS2017 and VS2015, call edksetup.bat VS2015 can set VS2015 build env.
   Call edksetup.bat without any tool chain option, the highest version of VS tool env will be set.

5. PiSmmCpuDxeSmm was updated to create 5-level page table for SMM environment when CPU is capable. If the platform uses platform-specific SmmCpuFeatureLib and the library provides custom SMI handler, the SMI handler assembly code needs to be updated to set BIT12 in CR4 before entering to 64bit mode.
