Andrea Bolognani	1fa20cd87c	tests: Unify input files for firmware tests ... Most of the differences, such as those in the domain name or amount of memory, are fairly harmless, but they still make it more cumbersome than necessary to directly compare different input (and output) files. More importantly, the use of unversioned machine types in some of the test cases results in the descriptor-based autoselection logic being effectively skipped, because the compatible machine types as listed in them are only the versioned variants.

Andrea Bolognani	df551718a1	tests: Use x86_64 for all x86 firmware tests ... Most test cases are on 64-bit architectures already, but there are a couple of exceptions. Right now this works, but it will no longer fly after some upcoming changes. Prepare for those by switching away from 32-bit architectures.

Daniel P. Berrangé	578ac25c6a	conf: support stateless UEFI firmware ... Normally when an UEFI firmware is marked as read-only, an associated NVRAM file will be created. Some builds of UEFI firmware, however, wish to remain stateless and so will be read-only, but never have any NVRAM file. To represent this concept a 'stateless' tristate bool attribute is introduced on the <loader/> element. There are rather a large number of permutations to consider. With default firmware selection * <os/> => Historic default, no change * <os> <loader stateless='yes'/> </os> => Explicit version of historic default, no change * <os> <loader stateless='no'/> </os> => Invalid, bios is always stateless With manual legacy BIOS selection * <os> <loader>/path/to/seabios</loader> ... </os> => Historic default, no change * <os> <loader stateless='yes'>/path/to/seabios</loader> ... </os> => Explicit version of historic default, no change * <os> <loader stateless='no'>/path/to/seabios</loader> ... </os> => Invalid, bios is always stateless With manual UEFI selection * <os> <loader type='pflash'>/path/to/edk2</loader> ... </os> => Historic default, no change * <os> <loader type='pflash' stateless='yes'>/path/to/edk2</loader> ... </os> => Skip auto-filling NVRAM / template * <os> <loader type='pflash' stateless='no'>/path/to/edk2</loader> ... </os> => Explicit version of historic default, no change With automatic firmware selection * <os firmware='bios'/> => Historic default, no change * <os firmware='bios'> <loader stateless='yes'/> </os> => Explicit version of historic default, no change * <os firmware='bios'> <loader stateless='no'/> </os> => Invalid, bios is always stateless * <os firmware='uefi'/> => Historic default, no change * <os firmware='uefi'> <loader stateless='yes'/> </os> => Skip auto-filling NVRAM / template * <os firmware='uefi'> <loader stateless='no'/> </os> => Explicit version of historic default, no change Reviewed-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
