Subject: Re: [edk2-devel] [PATCH v2] UefiPayloadPkg: Add support for logging to 
CBMEM console

Hi Guo,
Dumping some of the coreboot table shows that some smaller entries/data (such 
as build information) are inserted inline while larger entries use the 
cb_cbmem_ref structure. This may answer why some users of FindCbTag() assign 
the returned pointer directly to their requested structure, while this library 
must first dereference the console's address.

For reasons unclear to me, cb_cbmem_ref->size == 0x0010, the size of the 
cb_cbmem_ref structure. Perhaps the structure of cb_cbmem_ref has been changed 
in the past and the size field informs coreboot payloads? Either way, it 
doesn't look like a useful field at the moment.

I will add comments and submit a v3. Is there anything else that needs some 
comments?

Regards,
Benjamin
