Subject: [PATCH] qemu_firmware: Take NVRAM format into account when matching
Commit d3016e47be5f removed a hunk very similar to the one we're
adding with the rationale that there is no actual requirement for
the NVRAM file and the NVRAM template to have the same format,
which is completely correct: while libvirt will not perform the
format conversion itself, the user can do that on their own and
everything (except RESET_NVRAM) will work just fine.
That said, we also need <nvram format='foo'/> specified on its
own with no <loader> element to result in a firmware build with a
foo-formatted NVRAM template to be picked. Right now this works
thanks to the hack at the top of qemuFirmwareFillDomain() which
copies nvram.format to loader.format, but we want to get rid of
that because it has additional side effects that can lead to
confusing outcomes in certain specific scenarios.
So reintroduce this check, but make it extremely narrow: if any
other information that can influence firmware selection is
present in the domain XML, ignore the NVRAM format entirely; if
however the NVRAM format is the only information that was
provided, consider it when looking for a match.
