[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#973680: virtinst does not recognize UEFI ROM for armhf

[Ryutaroh Matsumoto]

Package: virtinst
Version: 1:3.0.0-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

Debian's qemu-efi-arm package contains AAVMF32_CODE.fd,
which is a UEFI ROM for armhf architecture.

virt-manager does not recognize it as UEFI ROM and
says ERROR Did not find any UEFI binary path
(see the attached screenshot).

The below patch corrects this symptom.
