I had specifically skipped this for several reasons:
1) This is not the right way to fix this (not including the VGA blob)
2) When I tried, it was working for me so I just assumed tiancore was
fixed by using the BAR directly
Maybe Andrei or Jordan can shade a light on tianocore behaviour here.
In the while, can you please explain how to exactly reproduce your
issue, posting all the configurations and environment you used?
