So for this one, we can do it either way.  However, the current design
of the sevEsRestBlock is (according to AMD) to allow the addition of
SEV specific information.  Each piece of information is a specific
offset from the GUID and the length of the structure can only grow, so
the ordering is fixed once the info is added and you can tell if the
section contains what you're looking for is present if the length
covers it.

We can certainly move this to a fully GUID based system, which would
allow us to have an unordered list rather than the strict definition
the never decreasing length scheme allows, but if we do that, the
length word above becomes redundant.

I don't have a huge preference for either mechanism ... they seem to
work equally well, but everyone should agree before I replace the
length based scheme.
