Hi Guo,

Sounds like a good proposal, but it would be great to merge this change
temporarily.
In some cases of the current implementation edk2 does override the memory
area, where the coreboot table pointer is located.
Therefore the kernel and cbmem tool is not able to locate the tables
anymore.

Thanks,
Marcello
