I'm really sorry Phil, but even the new comment looks just super weird
to me. I've grepped the edk2 codebase for
"ShellPkg/Application/Shell/Shell.inf", and looked at the leading
context (approx. 30 lines) near every match -- and now I actually think
we don't need *any* comments here. I mean we could say "UEFI Shell
Application", but is that really helpful? I have no idea.

I'll let other ArmVirtPkg reviewers comment on this.

Thanks
Laszlo
