I think we could be a bit more verbose

   "This configuration option is obsolete. Libvirt will
    follow the QEMU firmware metadata specification to
    automatically locate firmware images:
  
      https://git.qemu.org/gitweb.cgi?p=qemu.git;a=blob_plain;f=docs/interop/firmware.json;hb=HEAD

    These metadata files are distributed alongside any
    firmware images intended for use with QEMU."
