I see. But, I usually work to keep all OvmfPkg dsc/fdf files in sync
as much as possible.

Can you separate out OvmfPkg changes and make sure we have the chance
to review them on edk2-devel in the future?

But, I don't understand why OVMF should be special in this. Why not
give edk2-devel a chance to review all EDK II changes?

This is not quite true. I test IA32 almost as much as X64 with GCC.
And I try to test VS2010 building for IA32 & X64 often too.

Two porting areas I do have trouble with on OVMF are older VS and
MS-ASL compatibility...

Thanks for the contribution.

I modified it to be 2 commits. (r14557-8) Can you send changes like
these as separate patches in the future?

I also left off a change to OvmfPkgX64.fdf which changed the FD/FV sizes.
