Might make sense to sanitize fields that KVM doesn't use and that are not exposed
to L1. Not sure it's worthwhile though as many of the bits fall into a grey area,
e.g. all the SMM stuff isn't technically used by KVM, but that's largely because
much of it just isn't relevant to virtualization.
I'm totally ok leaving it as-is, though maybe name it "unsanitized_misc" or so
to make that obvious?
