If we can't build edk2 x86_64 bios blob on aarch64, and can't

option left is to split the edk2 package into two source packages.
One that exclusively builds the BIOS blobs (and can be entirely
noarch), and one that builds the host tools (which is arch dependant).
It rather sucks that build system limitations would force us to split
the source RPM in this way though :-(
The alternative might be to reduce the hard Requires dependency
to either Recommends or Suggests. What do you think about that?
