[Qemu-devel] [RfC PATCH 0/3] edk2: add efi firmware builds

[Gerd Hoffmann]

  Hi,

This patch series adds a edk2 submodule in roms, also a build script
and makefile rules to build ovmf and arm firmware.

The build script creates per-arch subdirs in pc-bios and places the
firmware files there.  They are not exactly small:

   address@hidden ~/projects/qemu (work/edk2)# du -s -h pc-bios/edk2-*
   2,8M    pc-bios/edk2-aarch64
   2,8M    pc-bios/edk2-arm
   2,1M    pc-bios/edk2-i386
   2,1M    pc-bios/edk2-x86_64

So, the question is how we wanna go forward with this.  Adding the
submodule and rules is a no-brainer I think.  But what about the
binaries, which sum up to roughly 10M?  Ship them all?  Ship the
64bit archs only, given that efi never really took off on i386
and arm?

Other comments?

cheers,
  Gerd
