BLOCK_MMIO_PROTOCOL and BlockMmioToBlockIoDxe were introduced to OvmfPkg in March 2010, in adjacent commitsb0f5144676andefd82c5794. In the past eight years, no driver or application seems to have materialized that produced BLOCK_MMIO_PROTOCOL instances. Meanwhile the UEFI spec has developed the EFI_RAM_DISK_PROTOCOL, which edk2 implements (and OVMF includes) as RamDiskDxe. Rather than fixing issues in the unused BlockMmioToBlockIoDxe driver, remove the driver, together with the BLOCK_MMIO_PROTOCOL definition that now becomes unused too.
