This is an ABI structure rather than some purely kernel construct, right?

I searched through all of the specs to which you linked in the cover
letter.  I looked for "blob", "guid", the magic and part of the GUID
itself trying to find where this is defined to see if the struct is correct.

I couldn't find anything.

Where is the spec for this blob?  How large is it?  Did you mean to
leave a 4-byte hole after secrets_len and before cpuid_phys?
