Since commit 19c6d9feaa ("MdePkg: Expand BaseIoLibIntrinsic (IoLib
class) library", 2017-01-14), IoWriteFifo8() has been widely available to
modules. Use it to print debug messages and assertion failures to the QEMU
debug port, rather than open-coded loops.
In the general case this speeds up logging, because debug messages will
now trap to QEMU once per message (as opposed to once per character), due
to "REP OUTSB" in "MdePkg/Library/BaseIoLibIntrinsic/*/IoFifoSev.nasm".
In SEV guests, there is no speedup (SEV doesn't support the REP prefix).
SEV is detected internally to BaseIoLibIntrinsic.
