One downside to this is we still need something in the boot protocol,
either via setup_data, or setup_header directly.
Huh, now I'm confused. You gave the acpi_rsdp_addr example and I thought
that should be enough, that's why I suggested boot_params.

Maybe you should point me to the code which does what you need so that I
can get a better idea...
Having it in setup_header avoids the need to also have to add a field
to boot_params for the boot/compressed->uncompressed passing, but
maybe that's not a good enough justification. Perhaps if the TDX folks
have similar needs though.
Yes, reportedly they do so I guess the solution should be
vendor-agnostic. Let's see what they need first.

Thx.
