Features
Details on each of these sections are described below.
Note:
Reserved fields or bits SHOULD be programmed to zeros. However, OEMs should not
rely on this model.
7.4.3.1
Header
To maintain backward compatibility, the Header defines the starting address for each
subsequent section of the PIROM. Software should check for the offset before reading
data from a particular section of the ROM.
Example: Code looking for the cache data of a processor would read offset 05h to find
a value of 25h. 25h is the first address within the 'Cache Data' section of the PIROM.

This location identifies the data format revision of the PIROM data structure. Writes to
this register have no effect.

Data Format Revision
The data format revision is used whenever fields within the PIROM are
redefined. The initial definition will begin at a value of 1. If a field, or bit
assignment within a field, is changed such that software needs to discern
between the old and new definition, then the data format revision field will be
incremented.
00h: Reserved
01h: Initial definition
02h: Second revision
03h: Third revision
04h: Fourth revision (Defined by this document)
05h-FFh: Reserved
