EFI / UEFI guest

[TheGrandQubes]

Hi,

I was wondering what the status is for allowing for EFI / UEFI guest VM (ie an appvm or HVM being able to use EFI rather than bios).
This feature seems to have been implemented in Xen 4.4, "but not build in by default" whatever that means. Here is the reference: https://wiki.xen.org/wiki/OVMF

Is there currently a way to make OVMF work in Qubes? Or another way to use EFI for an HVM instead of Bios?

Thanks

Currently it isn't possible, because the only qemu version supported in
stubdomain is the old qemu-traditional. We're working on getting new
version there in Qubes 4.0. If we manage to do that, it will be simpler
to have OVMF working, but will still require some work - currently not
on the roadmap for Qubes 4.0...

Hi, I stumbled upon https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/OVMF and wondered if this is already implemented into QubesOS.
What's the current status here?
