[vfio-users] How to let libvirt recognize manual install QEMU?

[Eddie Yen]

Update:

Still fail to install dracut on Ubuntu, so I decide to give up this step.

Also I tried the ppa source of libvirt and virt-manager, got some problems.

First, I can't call boot menu out on Seabios, and if I added virtio driver
iso into hardware list, bios can't boot because virtio disc is 1st boot
device.
So I can only install Windows 10 with non-virtio drive.
And I know there is a settings that can make Seabios show boot menu, but I
don't know how to edit by using virsh.

Second, looks like it still not included OVMF file inside the libvirt and
virt-manager.Where can I get it? And put where?

Sorry for so many questions
