Re: [libvirt PATCH 00/33] qemu: Move firmware selection to postparse and add support for QCOW2 firmware

Motivation for these changes can be found in the commit message for patch 20 ("qemu: Move firmware selection from startup to postparse") as well as [RHBZ#2161965]. Patches 01-17 are preparatory fixes/improvements/cleanups. Patches 19-20 move firmware selection from startup to postparse, and patches 21-22 clean up a bit after that change. Patch 20 in particular is significantly larger than I would have liked, but I haven't been able to come up with a way to split it while still preserving bisectability and making things clearer instead of complicating them. If anyone has ideas in this regard, please let me know! Patches 23-27 add support for choosing a firmware format, but are effectively no-op because formats other than raw are still rejected at this point. Patches 28-30 add support for QCOW2 format firmware in the QEMU driver. Patches 31-33 document the changes.
