TDX_BFV_RAW_DATA_SIZE + TDX_BFV_MEMORY_SIZE are identical.  Why do you
need both?  Yes, I know, some entries have RAW_DATA_SIZE=0 because
nothing is loaded for them.  You can also figure that by looking at the
section type.

TDX_BFV_RAW_DATA_OFFSET can be calculated from TDX_BFV_MEMORY_BASE, it's
a fixed offset (depending on firmware size).  At least as long as the
firmware loading uses to the usual x86 workflow (place right below 4G).

Also: When placing the firmware below 4G MEMORY_BASE + MEMORY_SIZE can
be DD.

The attribute field can be added to the ovmf meta data, or we make that
part of the section type.

Why does config-b need a completely different initialization code path
(i.e. skip PEI, see slide 11 of the tdvf design review)?

take care,
