The only concern I had with this patch is that we will start putting 
"*.secboot.fd" images into domcaps XML even if secboot might not be 
available for given combination of arguments (machine type + arch).
However, after my series gets merged we will report only those FW image 
paths that we found FW descriptors for and this will be used only as a 
fallback:

So after all, ACK from me too. And pushed.

Michal
