What are you actually trying to do?

Xen shouldn't be generating #VEs itself, so it doesn't need a #VE
handler.  Those should only be generated by guests in HVM mode (if I'm
remembering things correctly).  In those cases the #VE will either be
delivered directly to the guest, or it will cause a VMEXIT.
