That screenshot mentions DUET which is the tianocore.org UEFI emulator
that boots on top of a legacy BIOS. But, it's unclear if it was just
DUET, or something based modified specifically for coreboot based on
DUET.
I will not dispute that DUET might be a potential solution to achieve
UEFI compatibility for QEMU. (I'm not sure, but I think DUET may not
be able to boot UEFI OS's at this time.) However, we thought a
project such as OVMF was a more direct approach to achieve UEFI
compatibility for QEMU.
I see that there was a gnufi project that is mentioned on
http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads, but it looks like this
project may be stalled. ??
