x86, doc: Add a bootloader ID for OVMF
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
OVMF (an implementation of UEFI based on TianoCore used in virtual
environments) now has the ability to boot Linux natively; this is used
for "qemu -kernel" and similar things in a UEFI environment.

Accordingly, assign it a bootloader ID.
