Ard's last comment on the idea of removing FVP was:

I've sent the patch to remove these files a short while ago.  Let me
know if you wish me to re-send this as a v3 series.

You can find the series here as patches f5cd78c^..61f537a

https://git.linaro.org/landing-teams/working/arm/edk2.git/shortlog/refs/tags/armlt-20160204

As before, ignore my hacks that sit on top, although you're welcome to
inspect and provide comment, of course.
