Payload principle

[ArthurHeymans]

"The payload should elide strong dependencies on the payload launching code (e.g., coreboot versus EDKII versus slimboot)."

The argument that somehow slimboot's payload interface using HOBs is somehow more universal or independent than coreboot tables is disingenuous. They essentially achieve the same. Currently coreboot supports a lot more payloads than slimboot so why not make coreboot tables the standard over HOBs?

Please refer issue "HOBS should be self-describing structures" for this topic. It is suggested to use a self-describing structure instead of HOBs.
