More complex SMI requests can return data that exceeds the 4 32 bit
arguments that are traditionally part of a request.
To support more complex requests, the first input argument can be a
32 bit physical address with a buffer properly built in advance.
This new method prepares the buffer as the BIOS will look for
it in these requests.
