whenever someone posts a patch set (brand new patch set, or v2, v3, ...
of a previously posted patch set), I suggest capturing a mailing list
URL in the TianoCore Bugzilla, as a new comment.

This way someone interested in the evolution of the feature can approach
the mailing list postings from the Bugzilla, and get links to all
versions ever posted.

I've done this for your v1 posting; please add the v2 and v3 links.

(NB this request is for everyone.)

Thanks
Laszlo
