Re: [PATCH v3 4/9] tests: Add tests for SEV firmware selection

One of the new test cases demonstrates how firmware autoselection doesn't currently work correctly for domains using SEV-SNP: the descriptor for a suitable firmware exists, and yet it doesn't get picked up.

Another test cases shows that, while firmware autoselection succeeds for non-SNP SEV domains, the results are not the expected ones: the generic (stateful) edk2 build is used instead of the SEV-specific (stateless) one.

Sorry for not understanding how this test is useful in practice. I understand it shows autoselection results are not what's expected, but since the test passes, how would one know that? Regards, Jim
