+ * qemu: Make firmware selection persistent
+
+ Up until now, firmware autoselection has been performed at domain startup
+ time: as a result, changes to the JSON firmware descriptors present on the
+ system could have translated to a different firmware being chosen for
+ subsequent startups of the same domain, potentially rendering it unbootable
+ or lowering the security guarantees. Firmware selection now happens once,
+ when the domain is defined, and its results are stored in the domain XML
+ to be reused, unchanged, for all subsequent boots.
