[edk2-devel] [PATCH 1/1] OvmfPkg PlatformBootManagerLib: Move TryRunningQemuKernel()

[Christoph Willing]

Ref: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3504

This change ensures that PlatformBdsConnectSequence()  is run
before TryRunningQemuKernel().

It reverses commit a34a886962561f6d8550b2a1bb193798ca456431 which aimed
to improve UEFI boot time. Unfortunately that commit now results in boot
failure when using qemu's -kernel option, therefore rendering the -initrd
& -append options useless.

Such failures are seen in all releases from edk2-stable201808 to
edk2-stable202105 as well as the master branch.

The last releases which actually work correctly are vUDK2017 and vUDK2018
as they don't contain the a34a88 commit.

This change has been tested with edk2-stable201808, edk2-stable201811,
edk2-stable202105 as well as master (at 21/7/2021). It results in correct
booting using the -kernel option in all the test cases. No measurable
change in boot times was discernible compared with the unaffected vUDK2017
& vUDK2018 releases.
