[libvirt PATCH 00/10] Cleanup and test more firmware handling scenarios

There are a mind bending number of possible ways to configure the
firmware with/without NVRAM. Only a small portion are tested and
many error scenarios are silently ignored.

This series attempts to get coverage of every possible XML config
scenario and report explicit errors in all invalid configs.

There is an open question on patch 4.  Essentially the use of NVRAM
combined with writable executable feels like an accidental feature
in libvirt that hasn't really been thought through. I'd like to
better define expectations here but there are several possible
strategies and I'm undecided which is best.

Daniel P. Berrangé (10):
  qemu: fix bad indentation for qemuDomainNVRAMPathFormat
  tests: add explicit test case for pflash loader lacking path
  tests: add test case for NVRAM with template
  conf: validate NVRAM template usage with R/W loader binary
  tests: don't permit NVRAM path when using firmware auto-select
  qemu: inline code for filling in per-VM NVRAM path
  conf: rename struct field for NVRAM template
  conf: switch nvram parsing to use XML node / property helpers
  conf: move nvram parsing into virDomainLoaderDefParseXML
  conf: stop ignoring <loader>/<nvram> with firmware auto-select
