[Libguestfs] virt-p2v NVMe disks

[Femi Adegoke]

virt-p2v hangs & displays the edd message right after I select  which kernel to boot into.
At that point I have to power cycle the pc.
Yesterday (before I sent you email), it hung a few times but after the 5th power cycle it went through.

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.
