Just found your solution: Append to a PCI bar. That's nasty. Better
reserve some memory via e820. There is a paravirtual channel from QEMU
to the BIOS to communicate such reservations.
BTW, the IDTR holds a linear address, not a virtual one. Unless I
misremember, there is no need to map the IDT via the page table. The
processor will not consult it for reading its entries.
Also, you do not discuss making the shadow table read-only in the guest
address space. This should help enforcing some security properties, no?
