+ For X64 CPUs, the PEI Services Table pointer is stored in the 8 bytes
+ immediately preceding the Interrupt Descriptor Table (IDT) in memory.
+ For Itanium and ARM CPUs, a the PEI Services Table Pointer is stored in
+ a dedicated CPU register. This means that there is no memory storage
+ associated with storing the PEI Services Table pointer, so no additional
+ migration actions are required for Itanium or ARM CPUs.
