Hello Ard,
KvmTool, Qemu, Xen and CloudHv use the following implementation:
PlatformBootManagerLib|ArmPkg/Library/PlatformBootManagerLib/PlatformBootMa=
nagerLib.inf

Testing:
- using kvmtool
- not pressing any key during the process
I end-up in the boot menu (so not the UEFI shell).

When trying with a zero-ed flash.img, kvmtool exits with the following:
'PlatformBootManagerUnableToBoot: rebooting after refreshing all boot optio=
ns'
Then the flash is populated and the second attempt reaches the boot menu.

With the new PcdUefiShellDefaultBootEnable set to TRUE, we directly reach
the UEFI shell.

Regards,
Pierre
