Directly run UEFI applications in qemu

This helper application takes an EFI executable, builds a FAT filesystem around it, adds a startup script and runs qemu to run the executable.

It does not require root permissions since it uses the fatfs crate to build the filesystem image directly without involving mkfs, mount, etc.

uefi-run can be installed from the snapstore:

snap install --edge uefi-run

The confinement of this snap is somewhat strict. It can only access non-hidden files in the user's home directory. Also it has no network access.

You can install cargo and rust using the rustup tool:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

After cargo has been installed you can build and install uefi-run:

cargo install uefi-run
