Hi,
Recently I'm hitting a bug related to edk2 that sometimes boot up can be very slow (before loading the bootloader):
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/issues/10765
It looks like the cause is the related to flash IOs.
So I want to try using microVM machine type, as it's json file describes the device mapping is "memory", which should work around the slow boot.
But I'm unable to setup a machine using microVM machine type in virtual-manager. And manually editing the xml file doesn't let me go any further, as VMM creates a default xml with ACPI feature, which is not supported by microVM.
So I'm wondering, what's the proper way to use microVM machine type inside libvirt?
Microvm is not really supported. I did once send a patch to have it for completness but the fact that it uses memory mapping and not really widely used made me drop the patch. You can read the conversation at: https://lists.libvirt.org/archives/list/devel@lists.libvirt.org/message/Z46G...
