(1) This wiki article is helpful, thanks.
I have one remark: there's a heading saying "VarCheckPolicyLib NULL
Instance":
https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/VariablePolicy-Protocol---Enhanced-Method-for-Managing-Variables#varcheckpolicylib-null-instance
I think what's meant is "NULL class", not "NULL instance".
(2) The following platform DSC files in edk2 include the non-SMM
variable driver
("MdeModulePkg/Universal/Variable/RuntimeDxe/VariableRuntimeDxe.inf"),
but they are not modified by this patch series:
ArmVirtPkg/ArmVirtQemu.dsc
ArmVirtPkg/ArmVirtQemuKernel.dsc
ArmVirtPkg/ArmVirtXen.dsc
OvmfPkg/OvmfXen.dsc
UefiPayloadPkg/UefiPayloadPkgIa32.dsc
UefiPayloadPkg/UefiPayloadPkgIa32X64.dsc
I'm asking that you please (a) include a patch for ArmVirtPkg, (b)
update the OvmfPkg patch to cover "OvmfXen.dsc" too.
Not sure about the UefiPayloadPkg platforms; please ask their maintainers.
(I've CC'd the OvmfXen and UefiPayloadPkg maintainers/reviewers.)
Thanks,
Laszlo
