This reverts commit ced77332cab626f35fbdb36630be27303d289d79.
The command
virt-install --location NETWORK-URL
downloads the vmlinuz and initrd files from the remote OS tree, and passes
them to the guest firmware via fw_cfg.
When used with IA32 / X64 guests, virt-install expects the guest firmware
to do two things, at the same time:
- launch the fw_cfg kernel image even if the latter does not pass SB
verification (SB checking is supposed to be bypassed entirely in favor
of the Linux/x86 Boot Protocol),
- still let the guest kernel perceive SB as enabled.
Commit ced77332cab6 prevented this, by removing the Linux/x86 Boot
Protocol from such an OVMF image that was built with SECURE_BOOT_ENALBE.
While that's the right thing in theory, in practice "virt-install
--location NETWORK-URL" is entrenched, and we shouldn't break it.
We can tolerate the Linux/x86 Boot Protocol as a one-of-a-kind SB bypass
for direct-booted kernels, because:
- the fw_cfg content comes from QEMU, and the guest is already at QEMU's
mercy,
- in the guest, OS boots after the initial installation will use "shim"
rather than an fw_cfg kernel, which we can consider somewhat similar to
"Audit Mode / Deployed Mode" (~ trust for install, lock down after).
