Thanks Roman, I see your point, it's important for me to get the EDK2
working properly not sure why it's not working for me.
As I wrote a good deal of that code I hope I should be able to help (and
I'd be interested, too).  How exactly does the "not working" look like?

Also I'm a bit confused as to why UEFI is critical for the work you're
doing?  Can't it be made to work with BIOS first?
Do you know by any chance if the EDK2 hyperv patches were submitted and if
they were why they were not merged in?
I do, as I'm probably the only one who could have submitted them :)

No they were not submitted.  Neither were the ones for SeaBIOS nor iPXE.
The reason was that I had found no way to use alternative firmware with
HyperV, so the only environment where that would be useful and testable
was QEMU with VMBus.  Therefore I thought it made no sense to submit
them until VMBus landed in QEMU.

Thanks,
Roman.
