This will be used to configure the backing storage used by the

Dealing with the element itself is trivial, however we have to
refactor the existing code which deals with the loader and nvram
elements slightly: in particular, we can no longer perform an
early exit if those elements are absent.

When reconnecting to a running QEMU process, we construct the
per-domain path in all hugetlbfs mounts. This is a relict from
the past (v3.4.0-100-g5b24d25062) where we switched to a
per-domain path and we want to create those paths when libvirtd
restarts on upgrade.
And with namespaces enabled there is one corner case where the
path is not created. In fact an error is reported and the
reconnect fails. Ideally, all mount events are propagated into
the QEMU's namespace. And they probably are, except when the
target path does not exist inside the namespace. Now, it's pretty
common for users to mount hugetlbfs under /dev (e.g.
/dev/hugepages), but if domain is started without hugepages (or
more specifically - private hugetlbfs path wasn't created on
domain startup), then the reconnect code tries to create it.
But it fails to do so, well, it fails to set seclabels on the
path because, because the path does not exist in the private
namespace. And it doesn't exist because we specifically create
only a subset of all possible /dev nodes. Therefore, the mount
event, whilst propagated, is not successful and hence the
filesystem is not mounted. We have to do it ourselves.
If hugetlbfs is mount anywhere else there's no problem and this
is effectively a dead code.

There are two points I've taken for granted:
1) the mount points are set before starting a guest,
2) the / and its submounts are marked as shared, so that mount
events propagate into child namespaces when assumption 1) is
not held.
But what's obvious to me might not be obvious to our users.
Document these known limitations.

It should be enough to enable or disable the enrolled-keys feature
to control whether Secure Boot is enforced, but there's a slight
complication: many distro packages for edk2 include, in addition
to general purpose firmware images, builds that are targeting the
Confidential Computing use case.
For those, the firmware descriptor will not advertise the
enrolled-keys feature, which will technically make them suitable
for satisfying a configuration such as
<os firmware='efi'>
<firmware>
<feature state='off' name='enrolled-keys'/>
</firmware>
</os>
In practice, users will expect the general purpose build to be
used in this case. Explicitly asking for the secure-boot feature
to be enabled achieves that result at the cost of some slight
additional verbosity.
