The intention is to be an informative note, not normative text
(I'm happy if we want to format the text to make that clearer,
with some sort of NOTE: markup). I'd like VM implementors
reading this spec to make the correct decisions even if they
don't happen to know inside-out the details of the UEFI
specification and what exactly UEFI demands of the hardware,
and I think it's worth adding the occasional clarifying sentence
even if it doesn't strictly speaking add any extra rules to the
specification.
