Future patches for SEV-SNP-validated CPUID will also require early parsing of the EFI configuration. Incrementally move the related code into a set of helpers that can be re-used for that purpose. In this instance, the current acpi.c kexec handling is mainly used to get the alternative EFI config table address provided by kexec via a setup_data entry of type SETUP_EFI. If not present, the code then falls back to normal EFI config table address provided by EFI system table. This would need to be done by all call-sites attempting to access the EFI config table, so just have efi_get_conf_table() handle that automatically.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
