Introduce the Secure Launch Resource Table which forms the formal
interface between the pre and post launch code.

Is this interface kernel specific or uarch specific? I'd just
explicitly state the context of the formal interface, that's
all.

It is specific to our DRTM solution (i.e. Secure Launch). It is meant to be
extensible to accommodate future architectures that have DRTM support
available. Not sure if I am getting at your specific question.

OK so:

1. It's software defined set of data structures with no ties to
    the hardware architecture.
2. It's essentially an API maintining backwards compatibility.

I have nothing against that definition. It is just that speaking about
formal interface between pre and post launch code does not provide
explanation on what are the constraints of the interface.

So what I was not getting was the specific definition (i.e. *the*
specific formalism under discussion).

Ok I get what you are saying/asking now. We can make this clearer.
