IIUC, Trace = False for the MpamMscResourceLocatorParser struct because we just
want to populate the 'Locator', and let ParseLocator() print/parse the fields.

If a PrintFomatter() callback is implemented, the 'Locator' offset wouldn't
need to be populated anymore, the printing/parsing would directly happen
in the PrintFomatter(). Do you think it could work ?

The reason being MPAM Msc body is followed by MPAM MSC resource. MPAM MSC resource is followed by MPAM resource functional dependency list (from the spec). The interconnect descriptors are only placed after the functional dependency list.

Yes right, I assume this is ok as the offset of the Interconnect descriptor is available in the interconnect locator struct.
A call to ParseAcpi() from the interconnect locator's PrintFormatter callback should be possible,
unless I missed something ?
