I think from virt-manager's perspective this is all sufficient, though we may continue to use the old method since it allows us to list multiple rom+nvram pairs if they exist (like system packages vs the upstream binaries). But certainly I think this interface is what tools like oz will want, to simplify the 'just give me uefi' case Still though, the ./configure option isn't very flexible and is getting pretty unwieldy. I figure at some point we are going to need to do something akin to gerd's suggested /etc/libvirt/firmware.d https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2014-September/msg00145.html
