Default or Clone uefi_boot=True setting so as not to have to run command for each VM?

Is there a way to set uefi_boot=True as the default, replacing BIOS? Or how can I create a VM clone or template that has that set so that when I create or have a user through SSP create a new VM that is already configured as UEFI instead of BIOS? Thanks

Convert Windows Development Image to Acropolis

Anybody figured out how to convert or modify a Windows Developer image (these ones: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/virtual-machines) to run on Acropolis? Looking to allow these builds to simplify some Developer testing being as they're updated about monthly by Microsoft and include the tools necessary to work within them. The flavors are Hyper-V, VMware, Parallels and VirtualBox. I quickly attempted uploaded the vmdk from the VMware version, but of course get bitten by the virtIO driver necessity with Windows. Trying to review options to copy the drivers into the disk or something, just starting to research. Point being, building from scratch isn't what I'm interested in, I want to be able to simply pull down this image (OVA, OVF, VHD, VMDK) and convert it to KVM/Acropolis...if possible.
