+### X86 bootblock layout
+
+The static size C_ENV_BOOTBLOCK_SIZE was mostly dropped in favor of
+dynamically allocating the stage size; the Kconfig is still available
+to use as a fixed size and to enforce a maximum for selected chipsets.
+Linker sections are now top-aligned for a reduced flash footprint and to
+maintain the requirements of near jump from reset vector.
+
+### ACPI GNVS framework
+
+SMI handlers for APM_CNT_GNVS_UDPATE were dropped; GNVS pointer to SMM is
+now passed from within SMM_MODULE_LOADER. Allocation and initialisations
+for common ACPI GNVS table entries were largely moved to one centralized
+implementation.
