Sorry, I don't understand -- what kind of cleanup do you have in mind
precisely? The table is not copied, but moved from the original place,
so I'm unsure what's left in "Platform.c" to clean up.

Regarding the origin of the table, it's ancient:

- 49ba9447c92d ("Add initial version of Open Virtual Machine Firmware
                (OVMF) platform.", 2009-05-27)
- 991d95636264 ("Update OVMF Platform PEI to declare IO and MMIO
                resources. Update default memory type information to
                reduce EFI Memory Map fragmentation.", 2010-07-16)
- 55cdb67acb3d ("OVMF: Support greater than 2GB of memory", 2010-10-13)

(BTW I have a patch as a separate work item in the queue for this -- I'm
going to remove the EfiBootServicesCode / EfiBootServicesData entries
from this table, per Jiewen's recommendation / explanation in the "WSMT
bits" thread:

https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/55712
http://mid.mail-archive.com/a5e71131-65dc-8b85-481a-d35011512987@redhat.com

But that's a separate patch, for later.)

Thank you!
Laszlo
