On closer inspection our patch is not actually so similar, but it still
is achieving the same effect using a rather more convoluted method.

I am rather embarrased to say that the patch in our queue completely
abuses HVM_PARAM_32BIT, value 8 (which is why that value is curiously
missing upstream, given HVM_PARAM_VIRIDIAN at 9)
