The patch looks good, but unfortunately for some reason it breaks 
debugging using Andrei's gdb_uefi.py script: loading symbols fails:

The target architecture is assumed to be i386:x86-64:intel
0x000000007e65dec8 in ?? ()
Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'> No type named 
EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE_POINTER.:
/home/bcran/.gdbinit:8: Error in sourced command file:
Error occurred in Python command: No type named EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE_POINTER.

I've verified that a DEBUG build with the same git checkout does still 
work. I've looked through OvmfX64.dsc and couldn't see anything that 
depends on DEBUG that would be omitting stuff for NOOPT, so I'm stuck.
