Ah, good point. I will fix in next version.

But that means the caller now need to know that SNP is enabled before 
calling the APIs. The idea behind the API was that caller does not need 
to know whether the firmware is in the INIT state. If the firmware has 
initialized the SNP, then it will transparently set the immutable bit in 
the RMP table.
