Norbert Kamiński 60e84c617f contrib/qubes: Add Qubes wrapper source and create packages 
This patch is adding the fwupd wrapper for Qubes.
The wrapper provides fwupd functionalities for Qubes R4.1.
It creates three packages (two RPMs and one Debian package):
fwupd-qubes-dom0 (RPM)
fwupd-qubes-vm (RPM)
fwupd-qubes-vm-whonix (deb)
More information about the wrapper could be found in the
contrib/qubes/README.md

UEFI capsule update

The qubes-fwupd handle the UEFI capsule update under several conditions. The fwupd uses ESRT tables to read GUID, and that causes trouble when the OS is running under a hypervisor. The Xen does not pass the ESRT tables to paravirtualized dom0, so the Qubes is not able to provide sysfs information. More information you can find it this thread:

Requirements

You need Qubes R4.1 to use the UEFI capsule update.
