Based on previous feedback and to implement the changes to the GHCB 
specification, I'm planning on submitting a patch that will return an 
error code back to the guest, instead of terminating the guest, if the 
scratch area fails to be setup properly. So you could hold off on this 
patch if you want.

Thanks,
Tom
