I had this commit ready for when the next EDK2 release were go out,
which just happened: https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/51502

Laszlo doesn't think it's worth the churn to rush to get this update
into into 4.2-rc4: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1852196/comments/2

I agree with Laszlo, users shouldn't use the EDK2 bundled within QEMU
in production, and should rather build it from source. However some
distributions seem to rely on this convenience way to package EDK2,
and few CVEs are fixed in this new release. So it might be worthwhile
to get this into 4.2-rc4. Anyhow distributions don't use QEMU stable
tag directly and backport patches, so if there is no other rc4 patch,
we could skip this for after 4.2, as Laszlo originally planned.
