... I mean this specific patch only adds the two most basic headers
really (VIRTIO_FS_FUSE_REQUEST, VIRTIO_FS_FUSE_RESPONSE), and the rest
of the structs are introduced gradually over the series -- only when an
actual FUSE request type needs to be sent for the desired functionality.
So it's not a "dump of definitions" at any point in the series.

The complete set of structures+flags, defined in the FUSE 7.31 interface
version, never lands in its entirety in "OvmfPkg/Include/IndustryStandard".

Thanks,
Laszlo
