Hi, all.                                                                        
                                       

There is old patch series [1] to add file format to UEFI and NVRAM. It is not
merged because I guess it is intended to be used with online internal snapshot  
                                       
and such snapshot have issues with nvram. First it can save VM state in nvram
image. Second nvram is saved as part of VM state so one doesn't need to make    
                                    
nvram image snapshot as QEMU does. This is explained in greater details in [2]. 
                                       

But offline internal snapshots and disk only snapshots makes sense. So what     
                                       
about finally take the patch series.
