I was more concerned that this structure could change sizes if it were

Is this somehow OK when talking to firmware? Or can a 32-bit OS and
64-bit firmware never interact?
For SNP, both the firmware and OS need to be 64-bit. IIRC, both the
Linux and OVMF do not enable the memory encryption for the 32-bit.
Could you please make the structure's size invariant?
Ack. I will make the required changes.
That's great if
there's no problem in today's implementation, but it's best no to leave
little land mines like this around. Let's say someone copies your code
as an example of something that interacts with a firmware table a few
years or months down the road.
