Min,
What's the reason of moving this driver to UefiCpuPkg?

When the LocalApicTimerDxe is in OvmfPkg, it's clear that this driver is only 
used by OVMF/QEMU platform.
Now since the patch moves the driver to UefiCpuPkg, it's possible that other 
platforms may choose this driver as the timer driver in DXE phase.

So, we need to make sure the quality of this driver is good enough for a broad 
scope of platforms.

1. What's the issue when this driver still stays in OvmfPkg? If it's a must 
that this driver stays in UefiCpuPkg, please help to address following 
questions:

2. Can SourceLevelDebug (rely on Local APIC timer) work if this driver is 
chosen as DXE timer driver?
3. Can detailed comments be added for " @bug : This does not handle missed 
timer interrupts" in TimerInterruptHandler()?
4. Can detailed comments be added for " DisableInterrupts ();" in 
TimerInterruptHandler()?
5. In general what kinds of platforms are capable of using this driver as Timer 
driver?

Thanks,
Ray

Subject: [PATCH V3 3/3] OvmfPkg: Move LocalApicTimerDxe to UefiCpuPkg

BZ: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3711

OvmfPkg.dec is removed from [Packages] because it doesn't depend
on OvmfPkg. LocalApicTimerDxe is moved to UefiCpuPkg.
