If it helps - try to not think of SBSA QEMU as a QEMU target. It's pretending to be a hardware platform and should be treated as such. While we may have started the firmware port from ArmVirtPkg (as the qemu machine was being developed), I don't expect it to ultimately end up there when it goes upstream.
