This is defining a set of metadata that is required to use various firmware files in combination with QEMU, along with defining a mapping to QEMU command line arguments and/or features. Essentially, while I wish everyone used libvirt, libvirt is not the only thing that manages QEMU. This information is relevant to anyone managing QEMU, so it doesn't belong in libvirt's realm, it is clear QEMU is best placed to declare this information.
