I does.

But something is still broken. As I reported before, the performance of
grub2 startup is an order of magnitude slower than with the existing
code. According to ftrace, we are getting tons of additional
EPT_MISCONFIG exits over the 0xA0000 segment. But I haven't spot the
difference yet. The effective slot setup as communicated to kvm looks
innocent.
