Wasn't clear from the commit messages, but just listing explicitly that after
these patches the secboot firmware can be selected with:

  <loader firmware='uefi' secure='on'/>

correct?

I think from virt-manager's perspective this is all sufficient, though we may
continue to use the old method since it allows us to list multiple rom+nvram
pairs if they exist (like system packages vs the upstream binaries). But
certainly I think this interface is what tools like oz will want, to simplify
the 'just give me uefi' case

Still though, the ./configure option isn't very flexible and is getting pretty
unwieldy. I figure at some point we are going to need to do something akin to
gerd's suggested /etc/libvirt/firmware.d
