Log files (same content, modulo timestamps etc):

Two plugins failed (search either log for the string "Test Failed" --
there's going to be two instances).

(1) The GUID check plugin is one of both failures.

It's unjustified of course, because you *need* to know the FILE_GUID of
Grub.inf -- that's how you can generate boot option to it in the
Platform BDS library. Making gGrubFileGuid different from what's in
FILE_GUID would *break the code*.

One hack for this is to change the FILE_GUID in Grub.inf (regenerate it
with uuidgen), but then use a DSC-level FILE_GUID override, to make it
match gGrubFileGuid from the DEC file again:

But it's terrible for code that's actually valid.

So instead, we should add an exception to "OvmfPkg/OvmfPkg.ci.yaml",
near "GuidCheck".

(2) The other failure is from ECC.

I've evaluated the errors it has reported now, and all of them are
unjustifiedly reported.

Again, more exceptions are needed in "OvmfPkg/OvmfPkg.ci.yaml", this
time near "EccCheck".

I will send a short patch series to add the exceptions, and once that's
upstream, we *will* merge this (v3) series.

Thanks
Laszlo
