Description Ademar Reis 2021-06-03 18:46:23 UTC 
In the context of reducing our scope in RHEL9, let's disable virtiofs support in edk2 for now (it was added as TechPreview in RHEL-8.4, see #1741615).

An upstream patch to disable it at build time is preferable, but a downstream patch is acceptable.

An even better solution would be a sub-package with extra drivers we don't support (so customers could try and experiment), but that's something for a future BZ.
