Bug description:
  [Impact]
  PXE booting of UEFI systems is very slow, to the point that some systems timeout.

  [Test Case]
  PXE boot a UEFI-based system (d-i or MAAS) and monitor the time it takes for GRUB to download the kernel/initrd. tcpdump will show TFTP timeouts, and it can take on the order of minutes to begin running the kernel.

  [Regression Risk]
  The fix is restricted to UEFI-based systems. For those systems, it could lead to a regression if Managed Network Protocol is required to remain active while GRUB is performing the network boot.
