QemuBootOrderLib expects PlatformBootManagerLib to call the following
triplet:
(1) EfiBootManagerConnectAll(),
(2) EfiBootManagerRefreshAllBootOption(),
(3) SetBootOrderFromQemu().
This leads to bad performance, when many devices exist such that the
firmware can drive them, but they aren't marked for booting in the
"bootorder" fw_cfg file. Namely,
(1) EfiBootManagerConnectAll() talks to all hardware, which takes long.
Plus some DriverBindingStart() functions write NV variables, which is
also slow. (For example, the IP config policy for each NIC is stored
in an NV var that is named after the MAC).
(2) EfiBootManagerRefreshAllBootOption() generates boot options from the
protocol instances produced by (1). Writing boot options is slow.
(3) Under the above circumstances, SetBootOrderFromQemu() removes most of
the boot options produced by (2). Erasing boot options is slow.
Introduce ConnectDevicesFromQemu() as a replacement for (1): only connect
devices that the QEMU user actually wants to boot off of.
(There's a slight loss of compatibility when a platform switches from
EfiBootManagerConnectAll() to ConnectDevicesFromQemu().
EfiBootManagerConnectAll() may produce UEFI device paths that are unknown
to QemuBootOrderLib (that is, for neither PCI- nor virtio-mmio-based
devices). The BootOrderComplete() function lets such unmatched boot
options survive at the end of the boot order. With
ConnectDevicesFromQemu(), these options will not be auto-generated in the
first place. They may still be produced by other means.
SetBootOrderFromQemu() is not modified in any way; reordering+filtering
boot options remains a separate task.)
