Should this give an option in `make menuconfig` where I can give a file/folder location for `slic_file` similar like the `Flash_descriptor`, `ME` and `GBE` region.

The code in https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/7202 actually removed the `HAVE_ACPI_SLIC` option. It seems like that option was originally added to enable C code which would generate the SLIC table based on data added in an array. CB:7202 removed the need for the C code and made it so that it just reads the raw SLIC table from `fallback/slic`.

> Or can I just use cbfstool on a image without this Kconfig option with some foo `cbfstool currentokcb.rom add -f SLIC -n fallback,slic -t raw`?

Yes, that `cbfstool` command seems like it should work (it's `fallback/slic` though, not `fallback,slic`)

What option(s) does one need to compile this feature into a coreboot & edk2 build and where does one put the `slic_file` and in what format? 

Couldn't find anything in the documentation nor the commits that introduce MSDM/SLIC support:

https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/7202
