That's a good idea. It's pretty much just the extra segments I think. In
TCG mode the bootloader wouldn't even need to do anything different
since it can translate fine from the reset vector in kseg1 (where a KVM
guest cannot execute from) and it'll still jump to the kernel entry
point from the ELF.

I'll add it to my list :)
