Yeah, I got part way through typing that part but concluded it probably
wasn't a fast path that absolutely needed to be emulated in the kernel.

The VMM can inject the UD# when it receives the hypercall.

I appreciate it *is* a guest-visible difference, if we're being really
pedantic, but I don't think we were even going to be able to 100% hide
the fact that it's not actually Xen.
