Hi Boris,

Thanks for reviewing. Just FYI, Brijesh is prepping v5 to post soon, and I
will work to get all your comments addressed as part of that, but there has
also been a change to the CPUID handling in the #VC handlers in case you
wanted to wait for that to land.

Not sure what you mean here. All the interfaces introduced here are used
by acpi.c. There is another helper added later (efi_bp_find_vendor_table())
in "enable SEV-SNP-validated CPUID in #VC handler", since it's not used
here by acpi.c.

Right, current acpi.c keeps searching in case the preferred
ACPI_20_TABLE_GUID is found.

There is the aforementioned efi_bp_find_vendor_table() that does the
simple iteration, but I wasn't sure how to build the "find one of these,
but this one is preferred" logic into it in a reasonable way.

I could just call it once for each of these GUIDs though. I was hesitant
to do so since it's less efficient than existing code, but if it's worth
it for the simplification then I'm all for it.

So I'll pull efi_bp_find_vendor_table() into this patch, rename to
efi_find_vendor_table(), and drop efi_foreach_conf_entry() in favor
of it.

Nice, thanks for the tip.

There used to also be an efi_get_conf_table() that did the lookup given
a direct pointer to systab rather than going through bootparams, so I
needed some way to differentiate, but looks like I dropped that at some
point, so I'll rename these as suggested.
