It is not the only reason, when ES guests gain debug register support
then #VC also needs to be IST, because #DB can be promoted into #VC
then, and as #DB is IST for a reason, #VC needs to be too.

Besides that, I am not a fan of delegating problems I already see coming
to future-Joerg and future-Peter, but if at all possible deal with them
now and be safe later.
