Summary

Build 64k aarch64 ISO from Azure Linux
We need to add efi_mmap_nr_slack_slots=256 to the grub kernel command line for slack slots size allocation at runtime. This is necessary for both the ISO grub and the installed OS grub to boot on specific hardware like GB200F and above.
There are some limitations when it comes to customizing the ISO grub using post install task or extra command line. Leveraging the interface which was added from MIC to overwrite the customized grub from the toolkit ISO maker.
