Sorry, I was thinking that lp:1337091 was released already. We will look at getting it into 1.20.2.
If you set the kernel parameter via MAAS [0] prior to first boot, then I would concur that it's probably not going to help. If, however, you modified GRUB after it came up and rebooted, I think that would not have helped due to the network configuration actions only happening on first boot.
