This has a little more succinct issue as to what is going on:
https://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2015-October/080568.html

In short, smbios and ACPI memory both live in cbmem. However, the two drivers use 2 different map() attributes covering sub regions within cbmem. The cbmem utility currently assumes a cacheable mapping attribute which is in conflict w/ the persistent uncacheable smbios mapping.
