Could we perhaps define a HYBRID type that will have characteristics
like, this runs in HVM container, it doesn't use EPT, it uses HVM
callback, etc.. We can they modify it without defining any new types in
future, say we find it works better with EPT under certain
circumstances etc..  What do you think?
