Add a path for UEFI VMs for AArch32 VMs. This is the path Debian is
currently using in experimental. libvirt is the de facto canonical
location for where distros should place these firmware images, so let's
define this path here to try and minimize distro fragmentation.

"experimental"?

Is this written in stone some where yet?

hmmm... This makes it appear that nothing is decided upon yet.

How would anyone know to use this unless qemu.conf was modified to
describe the possibility?

See commit id '436dcf0b' for when AAVMF was originally added keeping in
mind that commit id 'f2f1e388' fixed the names/path. This will give a
better idea of what additional files should be changed.

Not that it's in my wheelhouse, but I'm somewhat surprised by the notion
to have the AAVMF directory have both 64 and 32 bit files... Guess I'm
surprised it's not AAVMF32/ since it would seem easier to be able to
have consistent names of "%s_VARS.fd" and "%s_CODE.fd" to go with the
/usr/share/%s/ path when trying to "build" a name.  I've asked the
QEMU/OVMF maintainer in this space and get his insights as well.

Hi John!

experimental is a staging archive for Debian. I uploaded it there
because Debian was in freeze at the time, not because we're continuing
to weigh options.

> Is this written in stone some where yet?


I'm not sure what qualifies as stone here. I've planted a flag via
Debian, and tried to build consensus on the cross-distro list:
  https://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/cross-distro/2017-April/000865.html

As you can see, mostly crickets, other than a suggestion to lock it in
via libvirt.

If you know of someone else you need me to convince, point me at 'em! :)

OK, thanks - I'll take a look.

One of my goals here is to avoid further pollution of the /usr/share
directory. I've had complaints from other Debian Developers about the
existing AAVMF and OVMF subdirs, but we've retained this for
compatibility with libvirt upstream.
