+  * qemu: Make firmware selection persistent
+
+    Up until now, firmware autoselection has been performed at domain startup
+    time: as a result, changes to the JSON firmware descriptors present on the
+    system could have translated to a different firmware being chosen for
+    subsequent startups of the same domain, potentially rendering it unbootable
+    or lowering the security guarantees. Firmware selection now happens once,
+    when the domain is defined, and its results are stored in the domain XML
+    to be reused, unchanged, for all subsequent boots.
