Hello all,

In one out of ~5 attempts at pushing a PR to master, I get a failure
at the following step

"Install QEMU and Set QEMU on path"

of the PlatformCI_OvmfPkg_Windows_VS2019_PR target.

Is there any way we can remediate this? Or at least classify some
failures as temporary, so it doesn't look like the failure has
anything to do with the contents of the PR?

Alternatively, a control for maintainers to override bogus CI results
would help as well.

Thanks,
Ard.
