From RHEL 7.3, Red Hat have decided to only compile the secure boot
version of OVMF on x86-64, with flags -D SECURE_BOOT_ENABLE -D SMM_REQUIRE.
The filename has also changed to reflect this - it is now
/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd. The old file
/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.fd is no longer shipped.
However switching to using this variant of OVMF for UEFI guests is not
just a matter of changing the filename. The new OVMF variant won't
run unless we also change:
- The qemu machine model, from the default ("pc" ==
"pc-i440fx-rhel7.3.0" or later) to Q35 ("q35" == "pc-q35-rhel7.3.0"
or later).
- Add <smm> under <features>.
- Set <loader ... secure="yes">.
NB: On RHEL the changes requires qemu-kvm-rhev. It is no longer
possible to convert UEFI guests using the basic qemu-kvm.
