Research direction
Start by reviewing the discussion in issue #285 and reproducing the reported debugging attempt with the uefi-test-runner. Investigate rust-gdb and rust-lldb symbol handling for an application running under QEMU, then document a working procedure or clearly identify the toolchain work still required.

I don't know the answer to this, but it would be nice to have a straightforward way to debug an application built with uefi-rs running under qemu. I'm not sure if there is something that currently works and it just needs some documentation, or if there's work needed in the toolchain.
