(Get the code!)
When trying to deploy a "Generation 2" virtual machine on Hyper-V, grub fails to fetch the linux kernel and initrd from MaaS. The operation times out immediately, because the Generation 2 VMs are missing the Programmable Interval Timer (PIT). The current version of grub still requires this interface to exist, in order to calculate time.
There is a patch that uses the EFI SetTimer() available here:

and an alternative in the discussion here:

that uses pmtimer instead. I am aware that grub is a critical package. What is the official/proper way to fix this issue? Can a patched grubnetx64.efi be packaged with MaaS? Do we have to wait for this fix to merge?
