It can get in the way if you just want to copy/paste several commands
to run right away. I don't think that is the case here. It is just one
command, and it is going to at least take two copy/pastes regardless.
I'm not real concerned about this either way.

Yeah. The order of relavence is definitely X64, then IA32, then
IA32+X64.

It sounds like we should have the X64 dsc generate a build error with
SMM_REQUIRED until this is fixed. Maybe that can take the place of
this comment in the README?

Jiewen, Mike, do you have a plan for solving the X64 PEI
incompatibility?
