[edk2-devel] [PATCH v5 0/2] CryptoPkg/OpensslLib: Add native instruction support for X64

[Zurcher, Christopher J]

Laszlo and Ard,
In the description for commit 214a3b79417f it says "disabling it by default, and re-enabling it explicitly for packages
that depend on it."
Is there a documented process to re-enable the COMMON keyword for a particular package? Is this even possible?

Thanks,
Christopher Zurcher
