One of the reasons for introducing virtio-gpu support to OvmfPkg and
ArmVirtpkg was the fact that under KVM virtualization on ARM, the
legacy VGA cannot be used reliably. This is due to an implementation
detail of QEMU+KVM, which remaps cached host memory into the guest
address space as a framebuffer behind a PCI BAR. Given that the purpose
of a memory mapped framebuffer is its side effects, such BARs should
never be mapped cacheable in the guest, and the mismatched attributes
between host and guest result in a loss of coherency, visible as
corruption in the framebuffer image.
This issue does not occur under TCG emulation, nor did we expect it to
actually bring down the guest under KVM, and so it was deemed harmless
to keep support for the VGA device as well. However, as it turns out,
the fact that the framebuffer BAR is mapped using device semantics by
default may result in unalignment faults when we use the ordinary string
copy routines on the contents. In theory, we could work around this by
remapping the BAR as write combining, but it appears the generic PCI
bus driver does not actually implement this.
So let's remove the QemuVideoDxe driver altogether. This may result
in loss of functionality for use cases that rely on the framebuffer
to be directly addressable (such as EFIFB), but given that this never
worked reliably under KVM in the first place, let's not let that stop
us from dropping support for it.

For obscure reasons, ARM platforms use a different implementation of
the ResetSystem() runtime service call than other platforms. So let's
switch all ArmVirtPkg platforms to the generic version instead.
Given that all platforms use an implementation of EfiResetSystemLib [as
consumed by the ResetRuntimeDxe in EmbeddedPkg that we are replacing]
which is unlikely to be depended upon by out of tree platforms, let's
simply modify this library into an implementation of ResetSystemLib
instead [which is what the generic driver in MdeModulePkg consumes]
This does mean we need to update all clients at the same time, which
is why all changes are part of the same patch.
As before, warm reset and platform specific reset are mapped onto
cold reset (which is the only thing PSCI implements, at least the
version we depend on). The new library function EnterS3WithImmediateWake()
is left unimplemented, as permitted by the ResetSystemLib library class.

In this patch, the ACPI protocol / driver chain is enabled dynamically,
when appropriate. This is being done in one larger patch, because
ArmVirt.dsc.inc, where AcpiTableDxe is built, is used by all the platform
DSCs.
No change in behavior should be observable after this patch on any
ArmVirtPkg platform.

While debugging OS for ACPI BGRT support (especially on VMs),
it is very useful to have the EFI firmware to export the
ACPI BGRT table.
This patch tries to add this support in ArmVirtPkg.

Wire up the FdtPciHostBridgeLib introduced in the previous patch
to the generic PciHostBridgeDxe implementation, and drop the special
ArmVirtPkg version. The former's dependency on gEfiCpuIo2ProtocolGuid
is satisfied by adding ArmPciCpuIo2Dxe.inf as well, and adding the PCD
gArmTokenSpaceGuid.PcdPciIoTranslation as a dynamic PCD.
In terms of functionality, no changes are intended.
