Bug description:
  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/8.0.0-1ubuntu6 introduced
  a recommendation to "swtpm", so this package now gets installed by
  default when installing libvirt. But this broke UEFI:

    touch /var/lib/libvirt/empty.iso
    virt-install --name t1 --os-variant fedora28 --memory 128 --wait -1 --noautoconsole --disk 'size=0.25,format=qcow2' --cdrom /var/lib/libvirt/empty.iso --boot uefi

  This fails:

  WARNING  Requested memory 128 MiB is less than the recommended 1024
  MiB for OS fedora28

  When I uninstall swtpm, the domain creation/starting works (of course
  it does not actually do anything due to the fake empty iso, but it
  does get past that bug).
