Public bug reported:

This is an upstream issue reported at
https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3064

/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.ms.fd does not boot by qemu-system-x86_64.
To reproduce the symptom, on Ubuntu 20.04 amd64, do the following:

cp /usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_VARS.ms.fd .
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -cpu host -machine q35,smm=on,accel=kvm -global 
driver=cfi.pflash01,property=secure,value=on -m 1024 -drive 
if=pflash,unit=0,format=raw,read-only=on,file=/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.ms.fd 
-drive if=pflash,unit=1,format=raw,file=OVMF_VARS.ms.fd

On the other hand, if OVMF_CODE.ms.fd in the above command is replaced
by OVMF_CODE.fd, the qemu starts fine.

Fedora 33 somehow built a working version of OVMF_CODE.ms.fd as 
OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd.
Borrowing those files from Fedora 33 suppress this symptom...

I hope working OVMF_CODE.ms.fd will be delivered in a future updates to
Ubuntu Focal LTS.
