So in fact Doug is working on that at the moment. There are some corner
cases where we had concerns as we have to pin the guest pages holding
the interrupt bits. This was secure execution, I need to followup if
we have already solved those cases. But we can try if the current patch
will help this particular problem.
If yes, then we can try to speed up the work on this.
