[PATCH for-edk2-stable201905 0/6] work around a QEMU issue triggered by the original TianoCore#1814 fix

["Laszlo Ersek" <lersek@redhat.com>]

Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1859
Repo:     https://github.com/lersek/edk2.git
Branch:   exbar_mtrr_bz_1859

The fix (commit range 3b7a897cd8e3..39b9a5ffe661) for
<https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1814> is technically
correct, but it tickles an (arguably unjustified) assumption in QEMU the
wrong way. For end users, this makes the original fix for TianoCore#1814
a regression, under certain circumstances.

In theory, the assumption should be eliminated in QEMU, but in practice,
that could be quite intrusive and/or take long. It seems possible to
work around the problem in OVMF, satisfying the assumption again; for
that, OVMF needs a different fix (and a different trade-off) for the
original problem described in TianoCore#1814.

Please see the detailed problem statement and the workaround's idea in
TianoCore#1859.

If possible, I'd like to get this into edk2-stable201905 (which we're
postponing by two weeks anyway, for the sake of the OpenSSL 1.1.1b
upgrade).
