Use
33.3.1
Function Disable
The SMBus interface may be disable by setting FUNC_DIS_2.SMB_DIS to 1b.
33.3.2
SPD Write Disable
DRAM memory modules contain a 256-byte EEPROM, called SPD, accessible via SMBus 
used to store configuration information such as timing, physical size and more. A 
malicious user with administrative privileges can change and permanently lock invalid 
settings which could then lead to a permanent denial of service attack or a memory 
aliasing attack. 
Write access to the SPI should be disabled by setting SMB_Config_HCFG.SPD_WD to 
1b.
