Well, efi support _is_ a hot topic in the virtualization community too.
But on a virtual machine it is dead simple to switch the firmware, so we
can load either seabios or ovmf[1] as needed. There is little need to
stack seabios as csm onto ovmf to build a single firmware image which
then can handle both efi and bios guests.
