Re: [edk2-devel] Adding DebugPkg to the main edk2 repo

Hi Rebecca,

This content does not look OVMF specific.

Does it depend on QEMU?  Or would this
Potentially work on any target that supports
gdb?

How about adding to SourceLevelDebugPkg as 
an another method to load symbols?  Not sure 
why the extra module is required.  The Debug 
Image Info Table is defined to be on a 4MB 
boundary and can be found with a search.
