So FWIW the attached patch gets me hvmloader into the right place _and_ also
reflects the correct paths in the generated libxenlight.pc which otherwise would
likely cause the next round of issues. @XENFIRMWAREDIR@ in config/Paths.mk.in
was part of the same change to add pkg-config files.

    libxl: provide xenlight.pc

Still not really sure this is the supposed way to set things right. There does
not seem to be a better way to override the firmware directory (as far as I can
see)...
