I think somewhere in this series there needs to a brief description of
what OVMF is.
With the exception of the first patch this is just adding yet another
component to clone and build. Why is this useful? Why isn't
(effectively) --with-system-ovmf always enabled (and thus not actually
needed as an option)?
Isn't Xen's keenness to build it's own particular versions of stuff
something that causes significant problems for distributions?
