Hi,

Can you help to explain more why PeiAllocatePages does not have the problem 
while PeiAllocatePool has?

Thanks,
Eric

Subject: [PATCH v1] UefiCpuPkg: Cpu feature data stored in memory may be 
migrated

REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3634

The memory allocated through "PeiAllocatePool" is located in HOB, and
in DXE phase, the HOB will be migrated to a different location.
After the migration, the data stored in the HOB stays the same, but the
address of pointer to the memory(such as the pointers in ACPI_CPU_DATA
structure) changes, which may cause "PiSmmCpuDxeSmm" driver can't find
the memory(the pointers in ACPI_CPU_DATA structure) that allocated in
"PeiRegisterCpuFeaturesLib", so use "PeiAllocatePages" to allocate
memory instead.
