On newer versions of Qemu, this patch causes a boot failure on my
AMD system with the following output:

...
PciHostBridgeUtilityInitRootBridge: populated root bus 0, with room for 255 subordinate bus(es)
RootBridge: PciRoot(0x0)

Doing some bisecting, before Qemu patch

    8504f129450b ("i386/pc: relocate 4g start to 1T where applicable")

this issue wasn't observed. And before this OVMF patch, the newer version
of Qemu doesn't have an issue.

Also, if I add host-phys-bits=true to the Qemu -cpu parameter, then
the issue isn't observed regardless of Qemu/OVMF level.

I'm hoping someone has an understanding of what is going on and what
can be done to fix it.

Thanks,
Tom
