[edk2-devel] [PATCH v1 5/5] PrmPkg: Add details on AArch64 build to the Readme.

[Sami Mujawar]

From: Jose Marinho <jose.marinho at arm.com>

Specify how to build the PrmPkg for the AArch64 architecture.
Make the 2 following notes:
 - the PrmPkg has only been tested on AArch64 using the GCC5
toolchain.
 - All symbols to be listed in the PRMT as well as the
PrmModuleExportDescriptor must be explicitly preserved by resorting to
the --require-defined linker flag.
