Sure will do. (2) Please mention that this patch ports OvmfPkg commit 259d87146b07 to ArmVirtPkg. OK. (3) Please investigate whether the RAM Disk driver makes any sense for 32-bit ARM (note that only AARCH64 platforms include the ACPI Table Protocol). This will have an impact on (4b) below. I think RAM Disks make sense for 32-bit ARM as well, even without the NFIT table. (4) I think this feature should be enabled for all of ArmVirtQemu, ArmVirtQemuKernel, and ArmVirtXen. (4a) In preparation for that, please prepend a patch to the series that extracts "MdeModulePkg/Universal/Acpi/AcpiTableDxe/AcpiTableDxe.inf" from all of the DSC files, into "ArmVirt.dsc.inc", section [Components.AARCH64]. OK. The FDF files are fine already. (4b) Please add RamDiskDxe.inf to "ArmVirtQemuFvMain.fdf.inc" and "ArmVirtXen.fdf", and "ArmVirt.dsc.inc". This ensures that the RAM Disk driver is built for all platforms. Restrict this as needed to AARCH64 (see (3)). OK. (4c) In the second patch, PcdInstallAcpiSdtProtocol should go into "ArmVirt.dsc.inc", section [PcdsFeatureFlag.AARCH64], for matching (4a). OK. (4d) The DXE_DRIVER build rules should also be updated in "ArmVirtXen.fdf". OK.
