Hmm. I have no idea how to debug a Win11 boot issue. Unless there
are clues in the dmesg log or some qemu or kvm logs (if you find any
such logs, please put the complete logs somewhere), the only thing I
can think to do would be bisecting it. "git bisect" between v5.15 and
0c5c62ddf88c looks like about 13 steps.
