Description

What I'd like: Please add support for Hyper-V platform. Currently when I start VM Bottlerocket (as part of EKS-Anywhere) it freezes in very early boot stage. For example Ubuntu VM for EKS Anywhere works fine, Thank you.

Any alternatives you've considered:

Research direction
Investigate why Bottlerocket freezes on Hyper V during early boot. Review the boot process (init, kernel modules) and check for missing Hyper V enlightenments. Examine existing platform support code in the repository, likely under `sources/` or kernel config files. Engage with maintainers on the issue to clarify expected implementation approach.
