This setting makes OvmfPkg/AcpiPlatformDxe not wait for PCI
enumeration to complete before installing ACPI tables.

Roughly, there are two ways to "measure ticks" in UEFI:
- the SetTimer() boot service, which sets up a one-shot or periodic event
callback, and takes the interval length in units of 100ns,
- the Stall() boot service, which stalls the caller (but does not yield
the CPU) for the interval specified. The interval is taken as a number
of microseconds.
If the platform in question also follows the PI (Platform Init)
specification, then it is recommended to implement the above UEFI services
on top of the following DXE Architectural Protocols (described in PI
Volume 2):
- Timer Architectural Protocol:
"Used to set up a periodic timer interrupt using a platform specific
timer, and a processor-specific interrupt vector. This protocol enables
the use of the SetTimer() Boot Service. [...]"
- Metronome Architectural Protocol:
"Used to wait for ticks from a known time source in a platform. This
protocol may be used to implement a simple version of the Stall() Boot
Service. [...]"
Edk2 in general, and ArmVirtualizationQemu in particular, follow the above
pattern.
SetTimer() works correctly. The underlying Timer Architectural Protocol is
provided by "ArmPkg/Drivers/TimerDxe", and that driver calls the internal
function ArmGenericTimerGetTimerFreq() to retrieve the timer frequency.
Ultimately it boils down to reading the CNTFRQ_EL0 register.
The correct behavior of SetTimer() can be observed for example:
- in the grub-efi countdown ("grub-core/kern/arm/efi/init.c"),
- in the Intel BDS front page countdown
("IntelFrameworkModulePkg/Universal/BdsDxe/FrontPage.c").
However, Stall() doesn't work correctly. The underlying Metronome
Architectural Protocol is provided by "EmbeddedPkg/MetronomeDxe", which
further delegates the job to the TimerLib library class. That in turn is
resolved to the "ArmPkg/Library/ArmArchTimerLib" instance, which
(finally!) takes the timer frequency from "PcdArmArchTimerFreqInHz".
In ArmVirtualizationQemu we currently specify 100MHz for this PCD. Alas,
that's incorect for:
- both QEMU/TCG (which emulates 62.5MHz, see GTIMER_SCALE in
"target-arm/internals.h"),
- and KVM (where the host's virtualized timer can tick at 50 MHz, for
example).
Set the PCD to 0, asking ArmArchTimerLib to interrogate CNTFRQ_EL0 as
well.
The change can be tested with eg. the following callers of Stall():
- the UEFI Shell's countdown -- before it runs "startup.nsh" -- relies on
Stall(),
- the UEFI shell command "stall" also uses Stall(). (Time it with a
stopwatch.)

The default value of this PCD (in "IntelFrameworkModulePkg.dec")
identifies the "old shell" from EdkShellBinPkg. Our build includes the
"new" shell from ShellBinPkg/UefiShell/UefiShell.inf; let's specify the
FILE_GUID of that.
Otherwise, no boot option will be generated for the Shell application.

We have all the required pieces in place. Let's call
SetBootOrderFromQemu() in PlatformBdsPolicyBehavior().
We disable OFW-to-UEFI device path fragment translation for virtio-pci,
and enable it only virtio-mmio at this time.

In PlatformBdsPolicyBehavior() we should follow the same pattern as in
OvmfPkg's: after the consoles are connected,
- connect all drivers and devices,
- enumerate all boot options,
- enter the Intel BDS FrontPage if the user presses a key different from
Enter.
We set the countdown to 3 seconds, similarly to the timeout that we
specify for ARM BDS.

In the next patch(es) we'll customize the PlatformBdsLib instance used by
ArmVirtualizationQemu.dsc. Let's clone it first verbatim from
ArmPlatformPkg/Library/PlatformIntelBdsLib, changing only its FILE_GUID.
(Also, coding style errors like "missing space before open parenthesis"
and "missing space after comma or semicolon" have been cleaned up.)

After reviewing OvmfPkg's use of its own QemuFwCfgLib instances, it is
clear that its only pre-DXE fw_cfg dependency concerns S3 support (the
QemuFwCfgS3Enabled() call in "PlatformPei/Platform.c").
For ARM guests, S3 is in the distant future, but we can see several
shorter term applications for fw_cfg that all reside in DXE:
- controlling boot order (to be implemented in PlatformBdsLib for Intel
BDS),
- supporting -kernel / -initrd / -append boot on QEMU (to be implemented
in PlatformBdsLib for Intel BDS, similarly),
- loading and linking ACPI tables,
- installing SMBIOS tables.
Therefore it makes sense to add a simple MMIO-based fw_cfg client library
to ArmVirtualizationPkg that for the moment is only available to
DXE_DRIVER modules.
Because MMIO accesses are costly on KVM/ARM, InternalQemuFwCfgReadBytes()
accesses the fw_cfg data register in full words. This speeds up transfers
almost linearly.

Qemu's firmware configuration interface for ARM consists of two MMIO
registers, a 16-bit selector, and a 64-bit data register that allows the
guest to transfer data with 8, 16, 32, and 64-bit wide accesses. Parse the
base address from the DTB, and expose the registers to the rest of DXE via
dynamic PCDs.

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.
