Could be done, but personally I prefer to add something new before
taking away the old approach. This might not be applicable here (because
there is no other bios), but it still "feels" safer.

Care to suggest something? ;-) To me, "traditional usage of ovmf ... is
no longer supported" already says that this is a statement about ovmf,
not the bios parameter, so I'm not sure how to reword this.
