Yes it does.

User-space can also cause IOIO #VC exceptions, and user-space can be
32-bit legacy code with segments, so es_base has to be taken into
account.

Right, this is fixed now.

True, #DBs won't be correct anymore. Currently debugging is not
supported in SEV-ES guests anyway, but if it is supported the #DB
exception would happen in the #VC handler and not on the original
instruction.
