Hi, Ard
I am checking the measurement behavior when loading the kernel via the QEMU 
-kernel option. I find it is implemented by below 2 driver/lib:
- OvmfPkg/QemuKernelLoaderFsDxe
 This is a separate DXE driver that exposes the virtual SimpleFileSystem 
implementation that carries the kernel and initrd passed via the QEMU command 
line.
- OvmfPkg/Library/X86QemuLoadImageLib
  This is the library that consumes above driver and call LoadImage/StartImage 
so that the kernel image gets authenticated and/or measured.
See https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/55381

I have some questions about the implementation need your help.
1. In the QemuKernelLoaderFsDxe, AllocatePool is called to allocate memory. Why 
not call AllocatePages? Kernel image size may be around 15 MB, but initrd size 
maybe much bigger.
2. Kernel image is authenticated and/or measured in LoadImage. I am wondering 
if "command line" is measured as well? "Command line" can be treated as an 
external input and in my opinion it should be measured too.
3. The same question to initrd. Is it measured?

Thanks
Min
