Subject: Large Vacant.bin in Vlv2TbltDevicePkg

David,

Bruce pointed out on irc that
Vlv2TbltDevicePkg/Stitch/IFWIHeader/Vacant.bin is a large (~3.8MB), and 
essentially empty (filled with 0xff) binary file in the tree. This appears to 
be the largest file in the EDK2 tree.

Isn't there a more efficient way to just create this file via a script as 
needed?

For example:
dd if=/dev/zero ibs=1k count=3836 | tr "\000" "\377" > Vacant.bin

Or, a python script could easily create the file too.
