Thank you for the help!

I found an interesting post on your blog( 
https://rwmj.wordpress.com/tag/virt-efivars/ )
about editing NVRAM. I think it's a good idea to make the possibility of 
NVRAM settings. It will improve conversion for EFI vm's and solve the 
problem for some distributions which don't support fallback
(for example it's ubuntu and debian). Are there any plans to add this
functionality to libguestfs?
