Hello Boris,

>"In order to assist software" it says.

The PPR specifies select portions of the RMP entry format for a specific core/platform. 

Therefore, the complete struct rmpentry definition is non-architectural. 

As per PPR, software should not rely on any field definitions not specified 
in this table and the format of an RMP entry may change in future processors.

>So you call the specified ones by their name and the rest is __rsvd.

>Right?

But we can't use this struct on a core/platform which has a different layout, so aren't
the model checks required ?

Thanks,
Ashish
