Other than adding a new element in the OVF, this also enables the
conversion of UEFI guests to oVirt. It is tested? Does it require other
changes?
I'd split the addition of <BiosType> to the OVF in an own patch, and
the enablement of UEFI for oVirt in a different one.

This function seems a bit to convoluted -- what about something like
(untested):
let get_ovirt_biostype guestcaps = function
| TargetBIOS -> 0 (* i440fx + SeaBIOS *)
| TargetUEFI ->
let caps = find_uefi_firmware guestcaps.gcaps_arch in
if List.mem Uefi.UEFI_FLAG_SECURE_BOOT_REQUIRED caps.flags
These two lines aren't right, because they test if secure boot
is available on the UEFI firmware installed on the conversion
appliance.
In fact I don't think there is a way to detect if secure boot
is required/supported by a guest (probably a missing feature)
so you can just leave out the "3" case entirely.
Rich.
then 3 (* q35 + UEFI + secure boot *)
else 2 (* q35 + UEFI *)
Thanks,
