So, should we pick this up for 8.2.1, or wait till next release of edk2 ?

The thing here is that for (some) downstreams, edk2 is a separate package,
so if qemu relies on changed edk2, it should be there before qemu-side
changes can be added.  So if we pick this patchset up for 8.2.1, it might
be a bit surprising for downstreams.
