Subject: [PATCH] ArmPlatformPkg: introduce fixed PCD for early hello message
(RH only)
Drew has proposed that ARM|AARCH64 platform firmware (especially virtual
machine firmware) print a reasonably early, simple hello message to the
serial port, regardless of debug mask settings. This should inform
interactive users, and provide some rough help in localizing boot
problems, even with restrictive debug masks.
If a platform doesn't want this feature, it should stick with the default
empty string.
