Bug Description

While MAAS happily passes the kernel_opts settings from tags into enlisting and commissioning nodes, they don't "stick" for when the installed OS locally boots. This seems to be because the installer has not set up grub.cfg as required,

for both curtin and for d-i, you should be able to make kernel parameters "stick" into the installed system by just adding '--' before whatever kernel parameters you want to fix.

you could do this by modifying the pxe templates or by the user simply using '--' before the kernel paramters they set.
