I don't see dropping support for this option in this series. Is part of
another series? I just checked the poky repo and I still the the option
supported. Or do you mean that only the ovmf recipe will not support
exporting bios.bin?

Wouldn't this particular part of the patch break the existing runqemu.
If this is the case, perhaps the last patch (or a patch towards the end
of the series) can remove this functionality in both places.

On the other hand, this is a new recipe and this may not be super
critical. Especially if you meant that only OVMF will not support
installing bios.bin in sysroot. Maybe all is needed is some
clarification in the commit message.

Thanks and BR,
Ricardo
