When using split UEFI image, it may come handy if libvirt manages per
domain _VARS file automatically. While the _CODE file is RO and can be
shared among multiple domains, you certainly don't want to do that on
the _VARS file. This latter one needs to be per domain. So at the
domain startup process, if it's determined that domain needs _VARS
file it's copied from this master _VARS file. The location of the
master file is configurable in qemu.conf.

Temporary, on per domain basis the location of master NVRAM file can
be overridden by this @template attribute I'm inventing to the
<nvram/> element. All it does is holding path to the master NVRAM file
from which local copy is created. If that's the case, the map in
qemu.conf is not consulted.

Shouldn't you protect this virBufferEscapeString() call with an "if" too?

No, virBufferEscapeString() works slightly different to other virBuffer* APIs. If any of its 3 arguments is NULL is basically NOP. So if loader->templt (sigh, I couldn't use template as it's c++ keyword, but that's different story) is NULL (= it wasn't specified in XML) this line turns into NOP and doesn't output anything.

+        else

You were confused by this, weren't you? This is basically to distinguish cases if nvram path was specified or not. If it was, we need to print out <nvram>/some/path</nvram> otherwise the partially written nvram element needs to be enclosed.

  }

Looks good otherwise.

Cool!
