Now that libvirt has firmware auto selection feature the nvram
config knob is more or less obsolete. It still makes sense in
cases where distro users are using does not provide FW descriptor

I think we could be a bit more verbose
"This configuration option is obsolete. Libvirt will
follow the QEMU firmware metadata specification to
automatically locate firmware images:
https://git.qemu.org/gitweb.cgi?p=qemu.git;a=blob_plain;f=docs/interop/fi...
These metadata files are distributed alongside any
firmware images intended for use with QEMU."
# When a domain is configured to use UEFI instead of standard
# BIOS it may use a separate storage for UEFI variables. If
# that's the case libvirt creates the variable store per domain
