It's good that this is so easy to do.
The obvious question is, what happens if you only pass only OVMF.fd
(which would be less than 2MB in size, right)?
Also, I see a command line compatibility problem, especially if one
wants OVMF.fd to become the default firmware. Then, having to specify
it again on the command line would be strange.
