This is an ABI structure rather than some purely kernel construct, right?

This is ABI between the guest BIOS and Guest OS. It is defined in the OVMF.

https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/OvmfPkg/Include/Guid/ConfidentialComputingSevSnpBlob.h

SEV-SNP FW spec does not have it documented; it's up to the guest BIOS
on how it wants to communicate the Secrets and CPUID page location to
guest OS.

I searched through all of the specs to which you linked in the cover
letter.  I looked for "blob", "guid", the magic and part of the GUID
itself trying to find where this is defined to see if the struct is correct.

I couldn't find anything.

Where is the spec for this blob?  How large is it?  Did you mean to
leave a 4-byte hole after secrets_len and before cpuid_phys?
Yes, the length is never going to be > 4GB.
