So for this one I'm not checking the length, which argues it wouldn't
be subject to the added length new data rule and I'd have to use a new

you would check the length and thus would have the ability to add
fields (either at the beginning or the end).
I think this paragraph explains it nicely and a slightly expanded comment
with this information would be enough.
Thanks,

Whatever we decide should probably be documented in both the OVMF
patches and the Qemu patches.
OK, I can add a comment about my use case and you can add one
documenting your length based use case.
