[libvirt] [PATCH v2] qemu: Allow UEFI paths to be specified at compile time

IMHO this isn't a property of qemu, but a property of the firmware.

Thats why I think the firmware packages should include some config file
with the meta data.

We could have qemu parse the firmware config files and export this via
qmp, but I fail to see the benefits this extra indirection brings us.
