UEFI Secure boot using qemu-kvm

UEFI Secure boot using qemu-kvm

James Bottomley has announced the availability of a version of the Tianocore UEFI implementation built into a KVM virtual machine; the result is a virtual system implementing the UEFI secure boot mechanism. "I'm releasing this now because interest in UEFI Secure Boot is rising, particularly amongst the Linux Distributions which don't have access to UEFI secure boot hardware, so having a virtual platform should allow them to experiment with coming up with their own solutions." It should be a useful tool for anybody wanting to make a system that works within the UEFI secure boot environment.
