I must not only have missed that proposal, but I also don't see
how you mean this to work: Are you suggesting for hvmloader to
construct valid AML from the passed in blob? Or are you instead
considering to pass redundant information (name once given
explicitly and once embedded in the AML blob), allowing the two
to be out of sync?
