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 qemu/KVM instead of the bochs/cbios/whatever images.

To Do list

• get OVMF to the point that QEMU can reasonably use it
  • implement fw_cfg interfaces
  • figure out how to get to a better build system
    • probably this means an overlay repo that provides static makefiles for our situation
  • CSM is a must-have :/
  • we probably need our own FAT driver

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?
    • they have a vesa driver, so that's one route.
• Windows 7 support
  • Probably don't need DMI/ACPI tricks
  • no vga bios, so probably do need graphics drivers. Or maybe just fake the VGA BIOS, since it doesn't need to do much.
