This is exactly how libvirt invokes qemu when domain configuration contains
<loader> and <nvram>. E.g.

-drive
file=/usr/share/qemu/ovmf-x86_64-suse-code.bin,if=pflash,format=raw,unit=0,readonly=on
-drive
file=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/nvram/test-uefi_VARS.fd,if=pflash,format=raw,unit=1

While a good description of the flavors, it doesn't answer the question of
which flavor is the best default for openSUSE and SLE. Being openSUSE, I
*think* the opensuse flavor is an appropriate default for openSUSE.

Antoine, can you recommend a default flavor for our SLE customers?
