Hello Sean,

Thanks a lot for taking the time to work on this. IMO, having a CI
smoke test that boots, say, an X64 as well as a AARCH64 virtual
platform to the UEFI shell is extremely valuable, and given how little
time it should take to run this test after doing the build, I would
argue for it to be incorporated as a pre-commit check. (Background:
the situation is much better than it was, but for a long time, being a
maintainer of the ARM pieces in EDK2 was no fun, given how often the
build got broken by people working on [and limiting their testing to]
X64 platforms)
