When PI can distinguish the "full config" boot mode from "assume no
changes", then the following BDS logic is correct:
if BootMode == BOOT_WITH_FULL_CONFIGURATION:
//
// connect all devices
// create & append each default boot option that's missing
//
BdsLibConnectAll
BdsLibEnumerateAllBootOption
else if BootMode == BOOT_ASSUMING_NO_CONFIGURATION_CHANGES:
//
// just stick with current BootOrder and the Boot#### variables
// referenced by it
//
In theory, the first branch is intended to run infrequently, and the
"assume no changes" branch should run most of the time.
However, some platforms can't tell these two boot modes apart. The
following substitute had been introduced:
//
// Technically, always assume "full config", but the BootMode HOB is
// actually meaningless wrt. to "full config" or "assume no changes".
//
ASSERT (BootMode == BOOT_WITH_FULL_CONFIGURATION);
//
// Key off the existence of BootOrder. Try to prepare an in-memory list
// of boot options, based on BootOrder and the referenced Boot####
// variables.
//
Status = BdsLibBuildOptionFromVar()
//
// If that succeeded, we'll treat it as "assume no changes". If it
// failed (*only* if it failed), we'll build default boot options,
// calling it "full config":
//
if EFI_ERROR(Status):
BdsLibConnectAll()
BdsLibEnumerateAllBootOption(BootOptionList)
What we have now in OVMF is a mixture of the hack, and the behavior that's
theoretically correct for "full config":
- We assert "full config" -- this is OK.
- We call "connect all" and "enumerate all" deliberately -- this is OK
too. It matches "full config" which we assert.
- However, we also have the hack in place, which had been meant as an
alternative.
In order to clean this up, we either need to restore the hack to its
original form (ie. comment out the unconditional calls again), or we ought
to remove the hack altogether.
The unconditional "connect all" + "enumerate all" calls are the correct
approach for OVMF, because we want, in fact, to start with "full config".
The QEMU boot order specification and the set of emulated devices might
change "out of band", which excludes "assume no changes".
In other words, removing the hack corresponds to the "real production"
case that the comment hints at.
Because SetBootOrderFromQemu() may change the BootOrder NvVar, we must
preserve the BdsLibBuildOptionFromVar() function call, in order to
refresh the in-memory list with the new boot priorities.
(The last step of BdsLibEnumerateAllBootOption() is such a call too.)

QemuFlashFvbServicesRuntimeDxe provides actual persistent storage for
non-volatile variables. When it is active, any on-disk NvVars file counts
as a stale source of variables -- hence don't load these files in BDS.
This also allows Secure Boot settings (eg. enrolled keys) to survive cold
VM reboots.

If QEMU's -kernel parameter was used, then download the
kernel from the FwCfg interface, and launch it. (See -kernel,
-initrd, -append) The application uses the LoadLinuxLib to boot
the kernel image.

Set the boot order based on configuration retrieved from QEMU.
Attempt to retrieve the "bootorder" fw_cfg file from QEMU. Translate the
OpenFirmware device paths therein to UEFI device path fragments. Match the
translated fragments against the enumerated BootOptionList, and rewrite
the BootOrder NvVar so that it corresponds to the order described in
fw_cfg.
The user is expected to configure working boot options first.
Tested via virt-manager's boot order widget.

Older QEMU versions would load vgabios-cirrus.bin at 0xc0000 in
system RAM. We would then find this ROM, and try to run it, since
it would be our QEMU Video driver.
Now, the QEMU Video driver is just merged into the main OVMF
firmware image, so this support is unused.

If the bit is not set, then the only method ACPI defines
for setting it is to use the SMI SCI enable code path.
Since OVMF does not support SMM, we must enable the
bit during boot.

This call can cause a reset, and is most critical for ACPI S3/S4
resume situations. OVMF does not support S3/S4.
OVMF does not have true non-volatile variable support, so
this call could cause a continuous reset situation in certain
scenarios. (The BdsLibSaveMemoryTypeInformation may set an
non-volatile variable, and then reset with the assumption that
the variable will still exist during the next boot.)
Additionally, some version of QEMU appear to hang when the
port 64 reset is initiated.

Note:
* This only works before ExitBootServices
* For OVMF, variables are only preserved on the disk if there
is a hard disk connected which has a writeable FAT file system.
The Ovmf/Library/EmuVariableFvbLib library will look for the
gUefiOvmfPkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdEmuVariableEvent PCD to be set to
a non-zero value. If set, it is treated as an event handle, and
each write to the EmuVariableFvb will cause the event to be
signaled.
In this change, the OVMF platform BDS library sets up this event,
and sets the PCD so that after each write to the EMU Variable FVB,
the non-volatile variables will be saved out to the file system.
The end result is that NV variables that are written prior to the
ExitBootServices call should be preserved by storing them on the
disk.

QEMU will automatically fill the video BIOS image into memory at the
legacy video BIOS memory location (0xc0000). This code will look
there for a EFI option rom image, and load it if it found. This
allows the video option ROM to be separated out from the main system
firmware image.
QEMU does not appear to emulate the PCI rom expansion method
for making the video BIOS available to the system.

It is not proper for a library implementation to assume the names of function in a parent module.
Instead, they must be designed as the pointers to these two BdsDxe functions and passed in.
