KVM virt on aarch64 and x86 can support EFI via AVMF / OVMF firmware built from the edk2 project from a technical POV.
The first challenge will be that many mgmt tools still default to using legacy BIOS when deploying guest OS. We've been trying to make it easier for mgmt apps to "do the right thing" by having libosinfo record metadata about whether each guest OS supports legacy BIOS, EFI or both. ie we want the mgmt apps to just pick EFI if they see the OS doesn't support legacy BIOS, instead of requiring users to manually tell them to use EFI.
So I can't say I'm thrilled about a future that depends on EFI for virt, but I'm resigned to the fact this is the direction the world is taking. So we're not likely to have any choice and will have to work to mitigate any downsides it brings.
Can we also default to Q35 and forget that i440fx existed?
Do all the pain in one step.
