VMware allows you to present UEFI firmware to guests (instead of the
ordinary PC BIOS).  Virt-v2v can convert these guests, but requires
that UEFI is supported by the target hypervisor.

Currently KVM supports OVMF, a partially open source UEFI firmware,
and can run these guests.

Since OVMF support was only recently added to KVM (in 2014/2015), only
output to raw qemu or libvirt is supported.
