arch/x86/boot/compressed/efi.c

should be good enough.

And in general, this patch is hard to review because it does a bunch of
things at the same time. You should split it:

- the first patch sould carve out only the functionality into helpers
without adding or changing the existing functionality.

- later ones should add the new functionality, in single logical steps.

Some preliminary comments below as far as I can:

No "return false" in the ACPI_TABLE_GUID branch above? Maybe this has to
do with the preference to ACPI_20_TABLE_GUID.

In any case, this looks silly. Please do the iteration simple
and stupid without the function pointer and get rid of that
efi_foreach_conf_entry() thing - this is not firmware.

If you're going to add proper comments, make them kernel-doc. I.e., it
should start with

/**

and then use

./scripts/kernel-doc -none arch/x86/boot/compressed/efi-config-table.c

to check them all they're proper.

There's no need for the "_bp_" - just efi_get_system_table(). Ditto for
the other naming.

I'll review the rest properly after you've split it.

Thx.
