[pve-devel] [RFC 0/2] move OVMF into separate package

[Thomas Lamprecht]

This is a proposal how to move the, a bit hard to (reproducible)
update, OVMF (EFI) blobs in pve-qemu in an own package, namely
pve-guest-fw-edk2
Its source is edk2, which host a lot of firmwares related to EFI
The package is so designed that if we want to ship other firmware
modules from edk2 we can do so without creating a new package for each
module.

Currently only OVMF for x86_64 is build and shipped.

In contrast to debians upstream package, `ovmf` we use a current build
and do not have SEVURE_BOOT support enabled, as it was not enabled in
our previous blob and has certain complications.

pve-qemu gets a .links dh_link file so that our code baser can still
work with the old files, we may remove the links sometimes in the
future if desired.

The pve-qemu patches may interfere with Emmanuel's recent work, I will
rebase it on top of his once merged, just sending it now for RFC.

Cheers,
Thomas
