OVMF package : Question about Qemu/Xen support

OVMF package : Question about Qemu/Xen support

[Tiger Liu(BJ-RD)]

Hi, experts:
I have a question about Ovmf.

Must Ovmf be run with qemu tool?
Or It could be run with Xen without needed qemu software.

It seems Xen began to support uefi boot from 4.4 version.

Thanks
