Well, there is still the idea to move over firmware submodules and
prebuilt firmware blobs to a separate repo.  Expermimental repo:
https://git.kraxel.org/cgit/qemu-firmware/.  Not touched for more than a
year due to being busy with other stuff.  Oh well ...

(if someone feels like picking this up feel free to do so).

I think adding edk2 as submodule below roms/ makes sense.  Adding rules
to roms/Makefile to build the blobs makes sense too.  Not sure we want
the binaries actually copied over to pc-bios/ and commited as the uefi
firmware is pretty big ...

Not sure what a good place for the uefi app would be.  I'd tend to not
use roms/, that is the place for firmware submodules.  contrib/ or test/
maybe?

cheers,
  Gerd
