That's OK with me.

I'll have to spend more time to review those patches, of course. I think
I'll go for Acked-by tags only, as these modules should be well-contained.

In the next version, please consider introducing a new section to the
"Maintainers.txt" file, and listing yourself and Brijesh in "R" roles
for the (new) VmgExitLib and CpuExceptionHandlerLib instances under OvmfPkg.

Best would be to list all the new files and modules introcuced by this
patch set under OvmfPkg -- maybe Eric and Ray would prefer that for
UefiCpuPkg as well. That's their call; for OvmfPkg I'd like this
additional reviewership spelled out.

Recent examples:

- 335644f90f15 ("Maintainers.txt: Add Liran and Nikita as
OvmfPkg/PvScsiDxe reviewers", 2020-04-01)

- feec20b28dd0 ("OvmfPkg/MptScsiDxe: Create empty driver", 2020-05-05)

Thanks!
