But couldn't we still check the existence of that at ReadyToBoot? We could, but that would bring back the new INF file for QemuFwCfgLib, and the explicit constructor call in FdtClientDxe (assuming we continue to register the callback in FdtClientDxe -- I think it does belong there). So that would be worst of both worlds.
