Switch from raw (.fd) EDK2 firmware images to QCOW2, plus 4MB on amd64 
The new arm64 firmware supporting Secure Boot (see next commit) is in
QCOW2 format only, avoiding the extra space taken up by the 64MB
padding. Supporting both raw and QCOW2 images would be messy, so switch
entirely to QCOW2.

Only the 4MB images are in QCOW2 format on amd64, so also switch away
from the 2MB images. 4MB images are now the default for most
distributions as they are needed to apply certain Windows updates.

Raw Blame History

  • The UEFI firmware has changed from raw (.fd) format to QCOW2 format. In addition, the amd64 firmware variables are now held in a 4MB image rather than a 2MB image. Note that this firmware is only intended for testing with QEMU. Do not use it in production. (scripts#2434)
