That's right.

As an alternative, you could change the code so that @secure=='yes' be
satisfied by (REQUIRES_SMM && SECURE_BOOT) only. Likely much simpler for
the end-user. (Perhaps a bit restrictive for my taste.) I think this
mapping/interpretation should be decided by libvirt owners and higher
level mgmt app owners.
