[libvirt] [PATCH 1/3] firmware: include arch and features in firmware file list

2016-10-03 Thread Daniel P. Berrange
Currently qemu.conf contains a nvram parameter which lists firmware code files and the corresponding nvram file path. We need to know which architecture and features are associated with each firmware file for future enhancement. This extends the syntax in a backwards compatible manner to record
