Currently if you want to enable UEFI firmware for a guest you need to know about the hypervisor platform specific firmware path. This does not even work for all platforms, as hypervisors like VMWare don't expose UEFI as a path, they just have a direct config option for turning it on or off.
This adds ability to use the much simpler:
<loader firmware="uefi|bios"/>
to choose the different firmware types.
Although not in the scope of this patch, virt-v2v would really like the ESX driver in libvirt to return this data for existing guests. I believe there is an open RFE about that somewhere. Patches 2 & 3 look fine to me, ACK.
