Please test the series as follows:

(1) Download

https://www.kraxel.org/repos/images/fedora-30-efi-systemd-i686.qcow2.xz
https://www.kraxel.org/repos/images/fedora-31-efi-grub2-x86_64.qcow2.xz

and decompress both files.


(2) Test using a 32-bit guest on an Intel host (standing in your edk2 tree, with the patches applied):

$ build -a IA32 -b DEBUG -p OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgIa32.dsc -t GCC5 -D SMM_REQUIRE

$ qemu-system-i386 \
    -cpu coreduo,-nx \
    -machine q35,smm=on,accel=kvm \
    -m 4096 \
    -smp 4 \
    -global driver=cfi.pflash01,property=secure,value=on \
    -drive if=pflash,format=raw,unit=0,readonly=on,file=Build/OvmfIa32/DEBUG_GCC5/FV/OVMF_CODE.fd \
    -drive if=pflash,format=raw,unit=1,snapshot=on,file=Build/OvmfIa32/DEBUG_GCC5/FV/OVMF_VARS.fd \
    -drive id=hdd,if=none,format=qcow2,snapshot=on,file=fedora-30-efi-systemd-i686.qcow2 \
    -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi0 \
    -device scsi-hd,drive=hdd,bus=scsi0.0,bootindex=1

(Once you get a login prompt, feel free to interrupt QEMU with Ctrl-C.)


(3) Test using a 64-bit guest on an Intel host:

$ build -a IA32 -a X64 -b DEBUG -p OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgIa32X64.dsc -t GCC5 -D SMM_REQUIRE

$ qemu-system-x86_64 \
    -cpu host \
    -machine q35,smm=on,accel=kvm \
    -m 4096 \
    -smp 4 \
    -global driver=cfi.pflash01,property=secure,value=on \
    -drive if=pflash,format=raw,unit=0,readonly=on,file=Build/Ovmf3264/DEBUG_GCC5/FV/OVMF_CODE.fd \
    -drive if=pflash,format=raw,unit=1,snapshot=on,file=Build/Ovmf3264/DEBUG_GCC5/FV/OVMF_VARS.fd \
    -drive id=hdd,if=none,format=qcow2,snapshot=on,file=fedora-31-efi-grub2-x86_64.qcow2 \
    -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi0 \
    -device scsi-hd,drive=hdd,bus=scsi0.0,bootindex=1


(4) Test using a 64-bit guest on an AMD host -- just repeat step (3) on an AMD host.

Thanks!
Laszlo
