Subject: [PATCH] Added description of the ovmf option in runqemu
The current documentation doesn't have any info for the ovmf option.
In case you build a QEMU image with the grub-efi bootloader, then the
qemu image needs the ovmf firmware to boot. Therefore, when using the
runqemu script you need to pass the ovmf option. I believe this is
needed as without this info there's no hint how to boot a UEFI image.
I've added a sample example with the other existing ones and the option
in the dev-manual-qemu.xml. I've also linked the grub-efi to the class,
so it's linked in the mega-manual. I've build the documentation:
$ make DOC=mega-manual
and tested the edit and that the link works.
