Firmware Test Suite - csm test

This test checks to see if a UEFI firmware based system has Compatability Support Module enabled or not. For non-UEFI firmware, this test just checks to see if the video BIOS is enabled or not. Typical output is as follows:

00013 csm             Check for UEFI Compatability Support Module.
00014 csm             ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
00015 csm             Test 1 of 1: Check for UEFI Compatability Support Module.
00016 csm             Checking for UEFI Compatibility Support Module (CSM)
00017 csm             No CSM: UEFI firmware seems to have no CSM support.
00018 csm             
00019 csm             ============================================================================
00020 csm             0 passed, 0 failed, 0 warnings, 0 aborted, 0 skipped, 1 info only.
00021 csm             ============================================================================
