The easiest thing is just to interrupt grub at boot (hit "Esc"), then
edit the kernel command line there.  This is a one-off change that you
have to do each time you boot P2V.

If you are making virt-p2v disks/ISOs then how to change this
permanently depends on what method you're using.  It may be better to
look at the source code of the virt-p2v-make* scripts in the virt-p2v
git repository.  https://github.com/libguestfs/virt-p2v

Does adding edd=off actually help?  Does virt-p2v hang at boot?
I wasn't clear on exactly what was happening.
