If there was a real device emulated by qemu, I would gladly make use
of it in OVMF.

I just thought this proposal would be much easier to implement, and
not be restricted to any particular size.  (Since -bios currently
supports any size that is a multiple of 64kb.)  A real device is going
to imply a certain size.
