Are the two really dependent on each other? Our virtual firmware seems to
work okay now, it took a while to get there, and it now rarely needs to be
fixed. I guess I don't care about the legacy rombios/vgabios bits too much,
but I'd be unhappy about throwing away all our ACPI stuff. That was a pain
to actually get working well. That means you can have
tools/firmware/{rom,vga}bios if you want, but trickier to mess with anything
under tools/firmware/hvmloader.
