I added basic support to create a TCPA ACPI table. The TCPA table have 2
specific fields : log_address and max_log_length. The log address should
point to a buffer of max_log_length bytes (0x10000 in my case) in the
ACPI Non-volatile Storage.

I guess this is the responsability of coreboot to reserve a portion of
RAM for the ACPI NV Storage. I'm interested in adding this
functionnality in coreboot but how usefull is it ?
