Do you know if those files are referred internally by QEMU, or the user should 
provide them in various command options explicitly?

About the efi-*.rom files, are they usable on Arm machines too? I thought that 
they are x86 specific.

I don't know what to say, my first thought was that if those files can be 
supplied by the user, I'd rather not include them in the binary distribution.

But if they are referred internally, and in certain configurations QEMU does 
not start without them, I have to reconsider.
