Using BIOS boot on UEFI-compatible systems is a legacy, because it works
under the CSM compatibly layer.
More information about CSM you can find here:
https://www.rodsbooks.com/efi-bootloaders/csm-good-bad-ugly.html
NB, with the OVMF UEFI firmware for KVM, there is *NO* CSM layer
provided.
IOW, If KVM is configured for UEFI, the guest OS must use UEFI boot;
if KVM is configured for legacy BIOS, the guest OS must use legacy BIOS.
Just something to be aware of if you're testing OS using KVM - it won't
replicate behaviour of bare metal UEFI setups with CSM.

Daniel
