This is somewhat related to the bigger question how we want move forward
with firmware builds in the qemu repo ...
qemu got uefi variable store support in version 10.0. With the pending
edk2 firmware update (patches are on the list right now) edk2 is new
enough that support for the qemu variable store is present in the code
base. This is a compile time option though, so it needs separate
firmware images. This little patch series adds them.
The big question is if we want go down that route. The images are not
essential for qemu itself. The test cases for the acpi tables use the
firmware images for the traditional, pflash-based efi variable store
and can continue to do so.
So, do we want add them? For qemu developer / user convenience? Or
leave that to linux distributions? Fedora already ships builds (see
/usr/share/edk2/*/*qemuvars*).
take care,
Gerd
