Stop using the pseudo partition disk mounting and use full disk mounting. pseudo-partitions are not compatible with HVMs, so this is a necessary step. uivm config changes are also needed.
uivm needs to be able to read partitions to be able to boot from a partitioned disk.
uivm could just use the default from openxt-image-disk.bbclass, but that doesn't take affect. read-only-rootfs does APPEND_append = " ro" which ends up taking precedence of the APPEND ?= setting. Add an explicit setting to avoid these schenanigans.
Use the partitioned disk so we can boot as an HVM.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Looks OK to me, also curious about the motivation for the change (assume this doesn't affect PVH mode and just adds an option for HVM if needed down the line?)

This PR converts the UIVM over to being a fully partitioned disk to enable the UIVM to be ran as HVM.
