According to [1], there're different ways to specify which
firmware is
to be used by a libvirt-driven VM. Namely, there's an automatic
firmware selection, e.g.:

<os firmware='(bios|efi)'>

and a manual one, e.g.:
...
<os>
<loader readonly='yes'
type='pflash'>/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.fd</loader>
...
</os>
...
with the latter being a way to specify UEFI firmware. So let's add this
search path as well when parsing source VM's libvirt xml.

It's a bit nicer to use PCRE regexps here, and that allows you to make
them more precise, and also to hoist the compilation to the top of the
file. You could write something like:
(near the top of the file)
let re_loader_contains_ovmf = PCRE.compile "/OVMF_CODE"
(here)
let loader = Option.default "" loader in
if PCRE.matches re_loader_contains_ovmf loader then UEFI
else UnknownFirmware
+ )
