In 8e1804f9f66 I've tried to fix the following use case: domain is started with path to UEFI only and relies on libvirt to figure out corresponding NVRAM template to create a per-domain copy from. The fix consisted of having a check tailored exactly for this use case and if it's hit then using FW autoselection to figure it out. Unfortunately, the NVRAM template is not saved in the inactive XML (well, the domain might be transient anyway). Then, as a part of that check we see whether the per-domain copy doesn't exist already and if it does then no template is looked up hence no template will appear in the live XML. This works, until the domain is migrated. At the destination, the per-domain copy will not exist so we need to know the template to create the per-domain copy from. But we don't even get to the check because we are not starting a fresh new domain and thus the qemuFirmwareFillDomain() function quits early. The solution is to switch order of these two checks. That is evaluate the check for the old style before checking flags.
