I think it's feasible (in the long term) to make OVMF look for "standard" fw_cfg files under "org.qemu/", and for the OVMF-specific knobs under "org.tianocore.edk2.ovmf/". (The longest knob name OVMF uses at the moment is 24 chars; it would fit.) It's just that I don't see how a user is any more likely to randomly pick "opt/ovmf/" for his own ad-hoc purposes than to pick "org.tianocore.edk2.ovmf/". Anyway, I agree that RFQDNs leave a few characters for the actual knob names, and they are mostly unique. Thanks Laszlo
