Yes, osstest uses "xen-tested-master" branch since c9d1e5896fe2
("cr-daily-branch: ovmf: "usually" use xen-tested-master") for stable
branches.

We are going to need to backport a commit from unstable. Either
    aad7b5c11d51 ("tools/firmware/ovmf: Use OvmfXen platform file is exist")
        (but has been reverted)
or
    81f291420238 ("tools/firmware/ovmf: Use OvmfXen platform file if exist and 
update OVMF")
        (but it also changes the version of ovmf pulled by default,
         which we probably don't want to change)

So I would suggest backporting aad7b5c11d51.

Cheers,
