> Subject: [PATCH v3] UefiCpuPkg: Fix potential spinLock issue in 
> SmmStartupThisAp
> 
> Due to needs a tackling the deficiency of the AP API, is necessary to ensure 
> that in non-blocking mode
> previous AP executed command is finished before start new one.
> 
> To remedy above:
>   1) execute AcquireSpinLock instead AcquireSpinLockOrFail - this will ensure 
> time "window" to eliminate potential
>      race condition beetwen BSP and AP spinLock release in non-blocking mode.
>      This also will eliminate possibility to start executing new AP function 
> before last is finished.
>   2) remove returns EFI_STATUS - EFI_NOT_READY - in new scenario returned 
> status is not necessary to caller.
