Public bug reported:

Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 introduces a new feature for virtual machines
named "generation 2", consisting mainly in a new firmware and better
support for synthetic devices.

Generation 2 VMs don't support IDE devices, which means that local boot,
ephemeral disks and DVD Drives must be attached as SCSI, instead of IDE
for generation 1 VMs.

Since the Virtual Hard Disks and Virtual CD/DVD Disks can be attached to
IDE controllers or SCSI controllers (generation 2 only), some constants,
variables and methods have been improperly named, having the IDE prefix.

e.g.: _IDE_DISK_RES_SUB_TYPE will have to be renamed to
_HARD_DISK_RES_SUB_TYPE
