[pve-devel] disable-efi-enable-pxe-roms.patch break livemigration from old qemu guest without pxe

Seem good. (I'm not sure how to pass arguments to target vm).

If we make a patch, it could be great to backport it to proxmox 3.4, to allow migration between proxmox 3 & 4.

I'll try to work on it next week.

I don't really like above approach.

my $cmd = { execute => 'qom-get', arguments => { path => 'net0', property => 
'romfile'} }; 
my $res = PVE::QemuServer::vm_qmp_command($vmid, $cmd); 
print Dumper($res); 
$VAR1 = 'efi-virtio.rom'; 

So we could query what files are used currently. 

Not sure how that helps, so I will revert my changes until we 
have a better solution for the problem.
