Hi Dave,

I did some search, and I think we should use DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() macro?

And also to address you concern that not all 892 bytes are reserved, how about
below:

        union {
-               struct cpuid_config     cpuid_configs[0];
-               u8                      reserved5[892];
+               DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY(struct cpuid_config, cpuid_configs);
+               u8 padding[892];
        };
 } __packed __aligned(TDSYSINFO_STRUCT_ALIGNMENT);

The goal is to make the size of 'struct tdsysinfo_struct' to be 1024B so we can
use a static variable for it, and at the meantime, it can still have 1024B
(enough space) for the TDH.SYS.INFO to write to.
