This is not a bad idea (see also your discussion with Leif); however it
does create a bit of inconsistency with how the other platform DSC/FDF
files have been handled. (The changes have been pushed for those.)

Again, I don't disagree, and I don't mind if ArmVirt is handled
differently. It's just that we should have handled this more uniformly,
I believe.


In retrospect, I would have also appreciated if the patches had
referenced <https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1278>, even
though they only implement "prep" work for now, on the platform DSC/FDF
level, and not the actual driver removal.

For example, the important explanation about MdeModulePkg's iSCSI driver
implementing its own MD5 algo cannot be connected to the OVMF commit now
(d2f1f6423bd1). I have copied the most relevant passage from the cover
letter of this series into TianoCore BZ#1278, but the commit in question
doesn't reference any BZ, so the link cannot be established.

Thanks
Laszlo
