I doubt it, but need to check.

Yes, it is Fedora 35, because we were (are?) not ready for gcc 12 yet.
Currently we are building Qemu is from scratch anyway (instead of
using the Fedora 35 repo) becasue we needed a recent one, see
https://github.com/tianocore/containers/blob/main/Fedora-35/Dockerfile#L75

So if the fixed Qemu is availiabe as source download from download.qemu.org
then this is easy to get into the CI images.

That reminds me to resent the "containerized CI" patches again.
