OvmfPkg: S3 Suspend: import specialized copy of AcpiS3SaveDxe
"IntelFrameworkModulePkg/Universal/Acpi/AcpiS3SaveDxe/AcpiS3SaveDxe.inf" currently specifies a DepEx on gEfiMpServiceProtocolGuid (MP Services). The justification is the following code sequence: InstallAcpiS3Save() if PcdFrameworkCompatibilitySupport is set: InstallAcpiS3SaveThunk() if EFI_MP_SERVICES_PROTOCOL is available: GetVariable(ACPI_GLOBAL_VARIABLE) In English, the AcpiS3SaveDxe driver insists on the presence of MP Services *unconditionally* because, - if PcdFrameworkCompatibilitySupport is set (the default is false), - and MP Services are available (which is constant true under the above condition), then the AcpiS3SaveDxe driver would like to get the ACPI_GLOBAL_VARIABLE variable from the MP Services driver, rather than setting it itself. The DepEx prevents AcpiS3SaveDxe from loading under OvmfPkg, since we provide no MP Services implementation. This is particularly broken since the default PcdFrameworkCompatibilitySupport value is FALSE, making the entire code that would look at EFI_MP_SERVICES_PROTOCOL dead. Copy AcpiS3SaveDxe to OvmfPkg, substitute PcdFrameworkCompatibilitySupport with constant FALSE, and remove all code that becomes dead, including the DepEx.
