So we definitely need to expose this in the XML; we already have
os/bios, so perhaps this would be the best location:
<domain ...>
<os>
<bios useserial='yes'>
<rom>/usr/share/kvm/pxe-virtio.bin</rom>
</bios>
</os>
...
and if /bios/rom[0] is not present, then we have to figure out how to
provide a sane default. Does qemu provide a -help option that says what
option-rom it will use if -option-rom was not provided on the command line?
Are you interested in working on patches on this front?
