What do we not include?  This is data which gets bundled into hvmloader
itself.

A little while ago, I proposed a different solution:

http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2014-01/msg01526.html

which allowed this to all be controlled at runtime.  The important point
is to avoid the vmexits if not needed, rather than to simply ignore the
debugging they are giving.
