Subject: [PATCH 08/16] pc_sysfw: prevent pflash and/or mis-sized firmware for
 rhel6.x.0 machtypes

O-Subject: [RHEL-7.2 qemu-kvm PATCH 2/2] pc_sysfw: prevent pflash and/or mis-sized firmware for rhel6.x.0 machtypes
Bugzilla: 1176283

QE tried to boot OVMF on a rhel6.x.0 machine type. The shadow_bios()
migration hack that is in effect for those machine types is not compatible
with the OVMF image. An assert() in shadow_bios() catches it, but -- given
that OVMF has never been intended for rhel6.x.0 machine types -- QE has
rather requested us to deny such startups cleanly.

The first hunk prevents "-M rhel6.x.0 -bios ..." style invocations where
the BIOS image is not 128 KB in size. This was suggested by Paolo and it
prevents the case when someone passes an OVMF binary via -bios.

The second hunk prevents "-M rhel6.x.0 -pflash ...", since that
configuration (for boot firmware purposes or otherwise) was never
supported.

Downstream only.
