Allowing arbitary file names on command line is setting us up for
failure: future guests will look for a specific QEMU-specified name and
will get confused finding a user file there.

Why is this part of a IPMI series?

It's been so long I don't remember any more.  I think I suggested a simpler fix when Michael posted his, and it ended up in my queue, because at one point the IPMI code
was messing around in fw_cfg.  But you are right, it doesn't belong here.

There was a lengthy discussion on this patch earlier, could you
summarize the conclusion?

I think there was no conclusion.  This patch should just be dropped.

Thanks for this and your other comments.
