OvmfPkg: unplug CsmSupportLib from BdsDxe
CsmSupportLib is effectively a hack. It produces the following protocols: - Legacy Bios Platform, - Legacy Interrupt, - Legacy Region2. (Note that the "OvmfPkg/Csm/CsmSupportLib/CsmSupportLib.inf" file contains an error where it claims that "Legacy Bios Platform" is "consumed" -- it is not; the lib instance produces that protocol). At the same time, the library instance consumes gEfiLegacyBiosProtocolGuid. This *seemingly* creates a circular dependency with LegacyBiosDxe, because that driver has the exact opposite protocol usage patterns. The solution is that LegacyBiosDxe has a DEPEX on the protocols produced by CsmSupportLib, while CsmSupportLib consumes the Legacy Bios Protocol from LegacyBiosDxe only in the member functions of the protocols it produces. Therefore, once BdsDxe is dispatched, and the CsmSupportLib constructor exposes those three protocols, LegacyBiosDxe can also be started by the DXE dispatcher, and then the protocols from CsmSupportLib become functional. But the main reason why CsmSupportLib is a hack is that it should be a normal platform DXE driver (called e.g. "CsmSupportDxe"), and not a NULL class library that's randomly hooked into BdsDxe. Given that we have removed LegacyBiosDxe earlier (so there is no DEPEX we need to satisfy now, conceptually), unhook CsmSupportLib from BdsDxe. --*-- Note that in the BhyveX64 platform, the pathname "OvmfPkg/Bhyve/Csm/CsmSupportLib/CsmSupportLib.inf" is bogus, and has always been, since commit 656419f922c0 ("Add BhyvePkg, to support the bhyve hypervisor", 2020-07-31).
