Subject: [PATCH] appliance: Disable EDD (edd=off) (RHBZ#1404287).
aa0300
aa0300
EDD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_Disk_Drive) is a BIOS INT 13h
aa0300
subcall for communicating the extended size of the boot disk over 8GB
aa0300
to the OS.  Since libguestfs doesn't use a boot disk, and the
aa0300
appliance disk is limited to 4GB, and we use virtio-scsi, this is all
aa0300
useless.
aa0300
aa0300
EDD is also broken currently on RHEL 7.3, see:
aa0300
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1404287
aa0300
aa0300
Also the EDD probing takes significant extra time (about 80ms on my
aa0300
laptop), and using edd=off reduces this time although doesn't entirely
aa0300
eliminate it.
aa0300
aa0300
(cherry picked from commit 764fd3fcc629ff91582ec8549ff80c240ba8393b)
