The "virt" machine type of qemu-system-(arm|aarch64) had no PCIe support
prior to qemu commit
4ab29b82 arm: Add PCIe host bridge in virt machine
With that commit, the "virt" board acquired the capability to expose an
XHCI controller. Using a USB keyboard as example, the command line options
were
-device nec-usb-xhci -device usb-kbd
However, due to a slight XHCI emulation bug in QEMU -- dating back to
several years earlier -- edk2's XHCI driver would encounter a failed
ASSERT().
This emulation problem has been fixed in QEMU commit
aa685789 xhci: generate a Transfer Event for each Transfer TRB with the
IOC bit set
and now edk2's XHCI driver works well on QEMU's "nec-usb-xhci" device.
Let's enable the driver in ArmVirtualizationQemu, as XHCI emulation is
reportedly more virtualization-friendly than EHCI, consuming less CPU.
(ArmVirtualizationXen is not modified because it includes no USB-related
drivers at all.)
This patch should not regress existing QEMU command lines (ie. expose the
failed ASSERT()) because QEMU's "-device nec-usb-xhci" has never before
resulted in USB devices that worked with edk2 firmware builds, hence users
have never had a reason to add that option.
Now that they learn about XHCI support in ArmVirtualizationQemu by reading
this commit message, they (or their packagers) will also know to update
qemu to aa685789 or later (in practice that means the upcoming 2.3
release), at least if they want to use '-device nec-usb-xhci' with edk2,
for the first time ever.

Including a prebuilt shell executable in the firmware binary is suboptimal
practice, especially given that the source code of the UEFI shell resides
in the same edk2 tree. Benefits of building the shell from source are
partly technical (a developer patching the shell can actually see the
results), partly ideological (the nominally built-from-source firmware is
actually built from source). "Security" might be worth a mention too.
The stanza for the [Components.common] section of
"ArmVirtualization.dsc.inc" originates from under OvmfPkg.

Similarly to the previous patch, we can now multiplex input from the USB
keyboard.

Alex Graf's QEMU patchset enables "-device VGA" for the virt machtype as
well. We can now include OvmfPkg/QemuVideoDxe in the firmware, and set
PcdDefaultConOutPaths such that the console output is multiplexed to the
video window as well. (Our platform BDS lib doesn't (yet) locate the VGA
device automatically.)
OvmfPkg/PlatformDxe is included too; it allows users to select a video
resolution. (Note that PcdSetupVideoHorizontalResolution and
PcdSetupVideoVerticalResolution are independent; see git commit 848834cb
(SVN r16311) for explanation.)

Beyond including the foundational drivers in the DSC and FDF files, we
enable virtio-over-PCI, and turn on QemuBootOrderLib's OFW-to-UEFI device
path translation for PCI devices.

This adds support for executing UEFI in a QEMU/mach-virt emulated environment.
The following assumptions are made about the target:
- DRAM base at 0x4000_0000, containing the device tree blob
- DRAM size at least 1 MB
- device tree uses 64-bit physical base addresses and sizes
- ARM architected timer
- Cortex-A15 CPU (if built for 32-bit)
The following information is retrieved from the device tree:
- PL011 UART base address
- GIC base addresses
- virtual timer interrupt
- PL031 RTC base address
- DRAM size, must be at least 128 MB
- virtio MMIO transports
- PSCI 0.2 availability (for reset and poweroff)
The device tree image is relocated and installed as a configuration table
so an EFI stub enabled kernel can be booted directly without the need for
a bootloader.
