Firmware auto-select limitation

Hi everyone and Martin 

I would like to confirm the conversation we had in regard the possible limitation of firmware auto-select feature that’s been released since v5.20.  I recall you saying that there were a lot of issues with auto select and later they shipped it into a Json file , it  still didn’t solve all the problems, did it?

Is it better to explicitly specify the loader and nvram path than using auto-select ?

Just today, I encountered the issue of using firmware=“efi” on libvirt 5.4.0 

I am running Ubuntu eoan 19.10, I am wondering how did it happen.

Detailed error
