-Reading ACPI info via fw_cfg in SVSM causes Linux to panic
-Description of problem:
-We could use some help from a Qemu expert with an Qemu/ACPI/Linux related problem,
-working on Coconut SVSM.
-
-**See https://github.com/coconut-svsm/svsm/issues/646**
-
-Coconut has code to read ACPI information via fw_cfg, and extract the number of guest CPUs from that.
-That code has been used in the past, but since igvm became the default launch method for SVSM, it
-was only used in corner-cases, while the information were obtained in some other way (igmv parameter).
-Now a commit switches back to the fw_cfg+ACPI method. The information returned by it is correct, but
-strangely Linux (guest) is spitting out ACPI related errors and crashes in some cases before reaching user-space. We do not have any clue how this can be related other than through Qemu behavior. 
-There is no direct way how SVSM can influence the ACPI related behavior of the Linux
-guest kernel.
-
-The problem seems to be caused by simply reading the ACPI data.
-
-Reverting the bad commit and simply calling the original fw_cfg acpi function causes problems for Linux.
-Steps to reproduce:
-Boot SVSM bases CVM. SVSM and OVMF boot OK, then Linux prints these errors in some scenarios panics:
