This patch is a step in the right direction, but, IMO, it can be improved.

The IsRegisterTableEmpty() function should also handle the case when the
"RegisterTable" parameter is NULL. The function should then also return
TRUE.

And then, two more patches would be nice:


(2) The register table allocation in
"UefiCpuPkg/CpuS3DataDxe/CpuS3Data.c" should be removed.

Right now, the code there allocates memory just so it can set the
"TableLength" and "AllocatedSize" fields to zero, for each "InitialApicId".

It's a waste -- the memory is allocated only for ensuring that
PiSmmCpuDxeSmm does not program any CPU registers during S3 resume.

Setting "AcpiCpuData->RegisterTable" and
"AcpiCpuData->PreSmmInitRegisterTable" should have the same effect.


(3) The same simplification should be then mirrored to
"OvmfPkg/CpuS3DataDxe/CpuS3Data.c".

I can write the OvmfPkg patch myself, of course, but first I'd like to
see this use case confirmed / supported.

This patch looks OK otherwise.

Thanks!
Laszlo
