  Hi,

I'd like to add a new linktype: EDK2_MM

This is the request serialization protocol used by edk2 firmware to
communicate between normal mode and management mode ('MM' for short).

Qemu recently (version 10.0 released last month) got a uefi variable
store implementation, and that reuses the request serialization protocol
for firmware <-> qemu communication.

I have a patch for writing out a pcap trace of the firmware <-> qemu
communication, and I think it makes sense to get an official linktype
number assigned before sending out that patch for merge into qemu, so
here I am ;)
