Add support to xenconfig for conversion of xl.cfg(5) bios config
to/from libvirt domXml <loader> config. SeaBIOS is the default
for HVM guests using upstream QEMU. ROMBIOS is the default when
using the old qemu-dm. This patch allows specifying OVMF as an
alternate firmware.
Example xl.cfg:
bios = "ovmf"
Example domXML:
<os>
...
<loader readonly='yes' type='pflash'>/usr/lib/xen/boot/ovmf.bin</loader>
</os>
Note that currently Xen does not support a separate nvram for
non-volatile variables.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
