--- Comment #11 from Marcin Cieślak <saper@saper.info> ---
There is something strange with Fwcfg types.

I think this should be a separate section block...

   Boot ROM device backends
     •   romfile[,varfile]

     Map romfile in the guest address space reserved for boot firmware.

     If varfile is provided, that file is also mapped in the boot firmware
     guest address space, and any modifications the guest makes will be saved
     to that file.

     Fwcfg types:

     fwcfg       The fwcfg interface is used to pass information such as the
                 CPU count or ACPI tables to the guest firmware.  Supported
                 values are ‘bhyve’ and ‘qemu’.  Due to backward compatibility
                 reasons, ‘bhyve’ is the default option.  When ‘bhyve’ is
                 used, bhyve's fwctl interface is used.  It currently reports
                 only the CPU count to the guest firmware.  The ‘qemu’ option
                 uses QEMU's fwcfg interface.  This interface is widely used
                 and allows user-defined information to be passed to the
                 guest.  It is used for passing the CPU count, ACPI tables, a
                 boot order and many other things to the guest.  Some
                 operating systems such as Fedora CoreOS can be configured by
                 qemu's fwcfg interface as well.
