When booting with OVMF, I have found that the most recent tag in the edk2 public git repo that supports those options is vUDK2018. Therefore I'm extremely interested in this series of patches, hoping they'll restore the missing functionality, and would like to test them locally. Is there any location from where I could obtain the patches themselves or, better still, access to a repo somewhere that already has them applied?

Are you trying to boot a VM with AMD SEV? This patch series is all about enabling
these switches for SEV (memory-encrypted VMs).  For "normal" VMs there should
be no change.

If you indeed use SEV guests, this patch series is available in 
https://github.com/confidential-containers-demo/edk2/tree/sev-hashes-v2

but also requires the corresponding QEMU patches in
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20210624102040.2015280-1-dovmurik@linux.ibm.com/ 
which are not yet upstream.
