[libvirt-users] Cannot boot libvirt guests with OVMF. Raw qemu-kvm works as expected

Using:

edk2.git-0-20150803.b1141.ga0973dc.x86_64
edk2.git-ovmf-x64-0-20150802.b1139.gb234418.noarch

On Fedora 22.

Provisioning a i440FX system in virt-manager and attempting to boot
results in successful EFI initialization, but the VM exits ungracefully
after the bootloader (with F22 and CentOS 7 installer images). There's
no really useful information in any of the logs.

Using qemu-kvm directly (qemu-kvm -bios
/usr/share/edk2.git/ovmf-x64/OVMF_CODE-pure-efi.fd -m 1G -cdrom
~rbarry/Downloads/Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-22.iso) boots and loads
successfully.

What's the difference here? Where can I go for troubleshooting?

Just to update --

This appears to be related to secureboot. Using a VM which has secure
boot enabled is successful

I haven't tried EFI with 440fx, only with q35.  I haven't found an
option to enable EFI neither a secureboot anywhere in virt-manager.

We don't use '-bios' but '-drive file,if=pflash' and
that's done once
for the OVMF code and second time for the efivars storage.  What's the
guest XML and full command line of qemu being started?
