bug#68286: ovmf does not contain secureboot firmware

[Tomas Volf]

Hello,

looking at the ovmf package, is seems that it does not contain files required
for secureboot.  When I compare what Archlinux ships:

    usr/share/edk2/ia32/OVMF.4m.fd
    usr/share/edk2/ia32/OVMF.fd
    usr/share/edk2/ia32/OVMF_CODE.4m.fd
    usr/share/edk2/ia32/OVMF_CODE.csm.4m.fd
    usr/share/edk2/ia32/OVMF_CODE.csm.fd
    usr/share/edk2/ia32/OVMF_CODE.fd
    usr/share/edk2/ia32/OVMF_CODE.secboot.4m.fd
    usr/share/edk2/ia32/OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd
    usr/share/edk2/ia32/OVMF_VARS.4m.fd
    usr/share/edk2/ia32/OVMF_VARS.fd
    usr/share/edk2/x64/
    usr/share/edk2/x64/MICROVM.4m.fd
    usr/share/edk2/x64/MICROVM.fd
    usr/share/edk2/x64/OVMF.4m.fd
    usr/share/edk2/x64/OVMF.fd
    usr/share/edk2/x64/OVMF_CODE.4m.fd
    usr/share/edk2/x64/OVMF_CODE.csm.4m.fd
    usr/share/edk2/x64/OVMF_CODE.csm.fd
    usr/share/edk2/x64/OVMF_CODE.fd
    usr/share/edk2/x64/OVMF_CODE.secboot.4m.fd
    usr/share/edk2/x64/OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd
    usr/share/edk2/x64/OVMF_VARS.4m.fd
    usr/share/edk2/x64/OVMF_VARS.fd

with what we do:

    
/gnu/store/nqv29p1kz1lwc6g3rifyi5mrapcx97wf-ovmf-202308/share/firmware/ovmf_code_ia32.bin
    
/gnu/store/nqv29p1kz1lwc6g3rifyi5mrapcx97wf-ovmf-202308/share/firmware/ovmf_code_x64.bin
    
/gnu/store/nqv29p1kz1lwc6g3rifyi5mrapcx97wf-ovmf-202308/share/firmware/ovmf_ia32.bin
    
/gnu/store/nqv29p1kz1lwc6g3rifyi5mrapcx97wf-ovmf-202308/share/firmware/ovmf_vars_ia32.bin
    
/gnu/store/nqv29p1kz1lwc6g3rifyi5mrapcx97wf-ovmf-202308/share/firmware/ovmf_vars_x64.bin
    
/gnu/store/nqv29p1kz1lwc6g3rifyi5mrapcx97wf-ovmf-202308/share/firmware/ovmf_x64.bin

There seem to be some files missing.  The secboot would be useful, but the csm
might be as well.

I tried to make a patch to build multiple firmwares, however due to how other
packages inherit from it, it was quite messy.  I wonder if having just a single
ovmf package would simplify things. The size bloat from merging them
seems... negligible.  At least for the QEMU use case.

Have a nice day,
Tomas Volf
