I've noticed that when PXE booting Archlinux with a HTTPS mirror, the boot process stalls reproducibly when the "archiso_pxe_http" hook starts downloading airootfs.sfs from the mirror, unless I start moving and clicking the mouse and pressing random keys.

My hope is that this will be solved by next week's Linux 5.4:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=3f2dc2798b81531fd93a3b9b7c39da47ec689e55

Filing this bug so other people waste time on a known issue, and to make sure I don't forget to recheck when an Archlinux ISO with Linux 5.4 hits the repos.
This task depends upon

@hardfalcon is this still an issue with the current archiso?
