      .A virtual machine with a large amount of bootable data disks might fail to start

      If you attempt to start a virtual machine (VM) with a large amount of bootable data disks, the VM might fail to boot with this error: `Something has gone seriously wrong: import_mok_state() failed: Volume Full`

      Workaround: Decrease the number of bootable data disks and use one system disk. To ensure the system disk is first in the boot order, add `boot order=1` to the device definition of the system disk in the XML configuration. For example:

      [source,xml,subs="+quotes"]
      ----
      <disk type='file' device='disk'>
        <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/>
        <source file='/path/to/disk.qcow2'/>
        <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
        *<boot order='1'/>*
      </disk>
      ----

      Set boot order only for the system disk.

      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      When testing the edk2 test loop, hit this issue when running to this case "block_boot_multi_disks.with_ovmf".

      in the test case: boot a VM with 1 system image and 99 data images with virtio-blk. When booting the VM, hit this issue. 

      What is the impact of this issue to you?

      Normal: not hit is every time and it works well if I replace the vars file with a copy of the template.

      Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:

      hit this issue on the following three versions.

      edk2-20240524-9.el10

      edk2-20240524-10.el10

      edk2-20240524-11.el10

      Steps to reproduce

      1. boot a VM with 1 system image and 99 data images with virtio-blk. boot_multi_disk.sh

      Expected results

      the VM boots up successfully

      Actual results

      Hit the following message in serial log.
