Virtual UEFI

The idea here is to build UEFI binary firmware images from the BSD-licensed code at edk2.tianocore.org which can be used with KVM instead of the Bochs BIOS images.

To Do list

• Make edk2 package
• Make edk2-BaseTools package
• Make EfiKVM package
  • Make FDF file
  • Make DSC file
  • Make DEC file
  • Write drivers?
• Figure out how to load new bios in KVM
• supporting software
  • liblvm support
  • virt-manager needs some UI

Miscellany

• suspend/resume
  • probably need a custom S3 handler?
  • S5 should be normal
• MacOS X support
  • emulated (faked) DMI/ACPI info?
  • do we need graphics drivers for MacOS to do this?
• Windows 7 support
  • Probably don't need DMI/ACPI tricks
  • no vga bios, so probably do need graphics drivers
