Package: qemu-efi-arm

Hello Maintainers,

There seems to be an issue with the 32-bit ARM UEFI firmware VARS file,
at /usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF32_VARS.fd. When I try to use it, I get a Data
exception and a failure to boot the firmware.

This issue can be reproduced using the following command:

  qemu-system-arm -display none -machine virt -drive \
  if=pflash,format=raw,unit=1,readonly=on,file=/usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF32_VARS.fd
  \
  -drive \
  if=pflash,format=raw,unit=0,readonly=on,file=/usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF32_CODE.fd
  \
  -monitor file:/dev/null -serial file:/dev/stdout

It can be seen that the VARS file is at issue here because the
following command boots as expected:

  qemu-system-arm -display none -machine virt -drive \
  if=pflash,format=raw,unit=0,readonly=on,file=/usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF32_CODE.fd
  \
  -monitor file:/dev/null -serial file:/dev/stdout
