I think we should probably move those out of the opt/ namespace space,
as this is reserved for user-defined files.

I think either "etc/efi/" or "efi/" is useful (so we don't have
different names on ovmf and aavmf).  Possibly add "pcd/".  Maybe even
support setting *any* pcd via "efi/pcd/$name" (just an idea, not sure
whenever that is useful and is possible without being too invasive).

Hmm.  Leave as-is for now I'd say.  If we decide to keep it we should
probably rename it and place it below etc/, next to reserved-memory-end.
Export the size in bytes, like reserved-memory-end does.  Add an option
to qemu to set it, so you can specify the size as "32G" using the
standard qemu size parser.

cheers,
