Hyper-V does read GUEST_SS_AR_BYTES. Way less frequent than
GUEST_CS_AR_BYTES but still.
Based on that my suggestion would be to shadow GUEST_SS_AR_BYTES, keep
GUEST_SS_AR_BYTES and unshadow the rest (GUEST_ES_BASE,
GUEST_CS_SELECTOR, GUEST_CS_LIMIT, GUEST_CS_BASE). I can do this as a
separate patch as I see this series is already in kvm/queue.
