There aren't really any others. The timer_mode config is along the same
lines I suppose, in that you would set it depending on guest kernel time
handling behaviour. In the specific case of shadow-code heuristics, however,
auto-detecting the OS type by methods such as try-previous-successful-first
would be the sensible way to go.
