But shadow code doesn't get included by default in shim-exclusive
builds (and others are unlikely to disable HVM).

Also, just to mention it - some of the patches in the direction
of !HVM builds getting smaller are still pending. They've been
acked (for the most part at least), but couldn't be posted in
time (sitting behind the PV guest accessors changes, which were
waiting for a decision security-wise).
