Well, medium-term, I'd (optimally) like to see ArmVirtPkg split and go
into OvmfPkg one end and ArmPkg the other.
But when Laszlo started out with ArmVirtPkg (before it indeed _was_
ArmVirtPkg), he felt the need to make substantial changes to
PlatformIntelBdsLib, and opted to do it separately.
We should probably take some time to look into what different needs we
may actually have on physical rather than virtual platforms, and how
we can go back to sharing the majority of the code.
