[PATCH v2 23/31] OvmfPkg/XenPlatformPei: Reserve VGA memory region, to boot Linux

["Anthony PERARD" <anthony.perard@citrix.com>]

Linux panic if this region isn't reserved.

When Linux is booted on EFI system, it expects the memory at 0xa0000 to
_not_ be conventional memory. Otherwise a variable isn't initialised
properly and Linux panic when a virtual console/terminal is asked to be
created.

See for more detail:
