runqemu has the options biosdir and biosfilename. Although the log for
these options was lost when the script was migrated to python, the
motivation of adding these options was to use OVMF. It uses the -L and
-bios options of qemu. To my knowledge, the only custom bios at the
moment is OVMF. Thus, you would ponder either removing or tweaking these
options with your approach; which makes more sense to me.

Thanks and BR,
Ricardo
