To my understanding, the first Windows "family" with any kind of UEFI support is Windows 7.

If you'd like to virtualize Windows XP on QEMU/KVM, please use SeaBIOS for guest firmware. You can also try to build OVMF with -D CSM_ENABLE, but for that, you'll have to build SeaBIOS in CSM mode first, and embed that binary into OVMF at build time. Please ask David for details (CC'd).
