Package: qemu-efi

Tags: patch
In order to boot virtual machines compatible with the Linaro ARM VM
Specification[1], we need to use a BDS (Boot Device Selection)
implementation that will fall back to the removable media path when no
other valid boot menu entry is found. The default ARM BDS in EDK2 does
not do this, but the Intel one does.
The attached patch switches the build for qemu-efi to use the Intel BDS.

Subject: [PATCH] qemu-efi: Switch to Intel BDS. This supports a fallback to
the removable media path (i.e. \EFI\BOOT\BOOTaa64.EFI) as required by the
Linaro VM Specification.

* Build-depend on gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu and make qemu-efi an Arch: all
package.
* Ship OVMF_CODE.fd and OVMF_VARS.fd for proper EFI variable support.
Closes: #764918. Continue shipping OVMF.fd too for now, for
compatibility.
