Yeah, these too are ugly. But going through this save/restore cycle when
starting a guest is supposed to go away anyway, according to Andrew. Plus
the primary annoyance here is for PVH Dom0 with vCPU count not restricted,
and there's no save/restore involved there. The typical HVM guest, otoh,
wouldn't have as many vCPU-s ...
