I was wondering about this just yesterday.

Will this eventually lead to a situation where we can have a single
firmware image which is shared between all guests, a la OVMF/AAVMF,
with grub and the kernels stored on the virtual disk itself, like
on most other architectures?

That should make it less awkward to add RISC-V support to libvirt,
plus I expect it to be kind of a requirement for full distribution
support, especially when it comes to updates and such.
