If there was a real device emulated by qemu, I would gladly make use of it in OVMF. I just thought this proposal would be much easier to implement, and not be restricted to any particular size. (Since -bios currently supports any size that is a multiple of 64kb.) A real device is going to imply a certain size. -Jordan
