Please see https://software.intel.com/content/dam/develop/external/us/en/documents/tdx-virtual-firmware-design-guide-rev-1.pdf
Section 4.2 TD Hand-Off Block (HOB)

Not all the VMM support fw_cfg. Cloud-Hypervisor is the example.
https://github.com/cloud-hypervisor/cloud-hypervisor
TD Hob list gives Cloud-Hypervisor a chance to pass information to guest firmware.
For example, ACPI can be downloaded from QEMU via fw_cfg to firmware. But
Cloud-Hypervisor cannot pass ACPI via fw_cfg. In this situation, TD Hob can resolve
this problem.
