May I ask if you used KVM virtualization (i.e., a Linux host computer)
for this?

This feature is large; I can't even attempt to review it in the time
that I could allocate to it.

However, I would like to regression test it (thank you Jiewen for the
reference!) Preferably, given that a v4 is already planned, I should
test v4.

If you can post v4 on Oct 27th (tomorrow), I'll make an effort to test
it in the afternoon / evening, on the 27th. (Please CC me.) Next week I
will be mostly inactive on edk2-devel -- I wouldn't like to block your
work, but I also wouldn't like an OVMF regression.

Thanks,
Laszlo
