[vfio-users] edk2.git-ovmf-x64 from kraxel.org/repos doesn't boot?

I've never had problems booting using ovmf firmware from the rpm repo
https://www.kraxel.org/repos/ but today I updated (fedora 25) and
could no longer boot (black screen, no Tiano Core logo)

In my libvirt configuration I use:
 <loader readonly='yes'
type='pflash'>/usr/share/edk2.git/ovmf-x64/OVMF_CODE-pure-efi.fd</loader>

which I'm assuming is the latest build from the repo, however I
switched it to this:
<loader readonly='yes' type='pflash'>/usr/share/edk2/ovmf/OVMF_CODE.fd</loader>

And I can boot again.

Can someone explain to me what the difference between the two files
are? Should I not be running the latest builds from
www.kraxel.org/repos/jenkins/edk2/ or is the other one preferred?

Thanks!
Doug
