Hi Patrick,
I checked the code in deep.
The HOB is not created by coreboot. It's the PayloadEntry that creates the HOB.
Can we update PayloadEntry to create multiple HOBs?

Guo,
Any comments?

The reason I like this approach is it doesn't require the other bootloaders to write
a SMBIOS driver that merges all SMBIOS structures together into one table.

Thanks,
Ray
