On incoming migration we have the following sequence to load option
ROM:

1. On device realize we do normal load ROM from the file

2. Than, on incoming migration we rewrite ROM from the incoming RAM
   block. If sizes mismatch we fail.

This is not ideal when we migrate to updated distribution: we have to
keep old ROM files in new distribution and be careful around romfile
property to load correct ROM file. Which is loaded actually just to
allocate the ROM with correct length.

Note, that romsize property doesn't really help: if we try to specify
it when default romfile is larger, it fails with something like:

romfile "efi-virtio.rom" (160768 bytes) is too large for ROM size 65536

This commit brings new behavior for romfile="",romsize=SIZE combination
of options. Current behavior is just ignore romsize and not load or
create any ROM.

Let's instead preallocate ROM, not loading any file. This way we can
migrate old vm to new environment not thinking about ROM files on
destination host:

1. specify romfile="",romsize=SIZE on target, with correct SIZE
   (actually, size of romfile on source aligned up to power of two, or
    just original romsize option on source)

2. On device realize we just preallocate ROM, and not load any file

3. On incoming migration ROM is filled from the migration stream

As a bonus we avoid extra reading from ROM file on target.

why is this a bad idea:
- on source presumably user overrides romfile
- we have a general rule that source and destination flags must match

I propose instead to ignore romfile if qemu is incoming migration
and romsize has been specified.

Hmm, that would work even better, as no additional options needed, thanks. I'll resend

yes but it can match on source and dest.

Aren't we pushin issue from QEMU(/how distro packages firmware/)
to mgmt layer(s) going this way?

I'm afraid, we can't simply solve the issue on QEMU part, as we need this romsize at realize time. If we want to change the size on load of incoming migration, we'd have to reinitialize the device and memory layout.. This seems too difficult.

On the other hand, it seems correct to force management to specify ROM size to create. Same as RAM size.

Imagine, we always had the following behavior:

  - romsize is necessary parameter when we have rom (absence means no rom, same as romfile="")
  - romfile is ignored on incoming migration

this way, we would never have any migration problems.

So, the proposal is to at least support such behavior:

  - ignore romfile on incoming migration when romsize is specified.

Additionally we can deprecate missing romsize, when we have rom.
