[OE-core] [PATCH 0/9] UEFI + Secure Boot + qemu

There seems to be a consensus that supporting UEFI in OE-core for qemu
would be valuable, and there have been some (stalled) attempts to add
it. For reference, see:
   [OE-core] [PATCH V3 0/3] Add UEFI firmware for qemux86*
   [OE-core] Add ovmf-native to make qemu-native/runqemu support boot UEFI image?
   https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5654
   https://github.com/01org/luv-yocto/issues/38

This patch set includes the necessary recipes (ovmf and iasl from
meta-luv), some improvements to them (in particular, enabling Secure
Boot), and changes to runqemu to make it easier to boot with UEFI. A
special image recipes builds an image which can be used to lock down a
virtual machine by enrolling the "normal" pre-installed certificates.

I decided to keep the setup simple and use just a single file for UEFI
code and variables because that makes the usage via runqemu very
easy. See the "runqemu: support UEFI with OVMF firmware" patch for
details. The downside is that the firmware can't be updated without
loosing variables. I don't see a big need for long-lived virtual
machine instances, but would like to hear from others about that.

What's missing is automated testing of this new feature. I'm open for
suggestions here; right now I don't know enough about the automated
testing in the AB to propose something.

I've discussed the usage of ovmf/iasl with Ricardo and he agreed that
moving ovmf and iasl from meta-luv to OE-core makes sense. Ricardo,
would you be willing to act as maintainer of it there, like you did in
meta-luv?

Beware that "git am --keep-cr" must be used to import the ovmf patches
correctly.
