And failing to poison entry 0. This was a bad rearrangement when
tidying the series up.
Unfortunately, testing the #DF path isn't terribly easy.

Yes. Reduced chance of interacting with a buggy IO bitmap offset.
Furthermore, we could do away most of the IO emulation quirking, and the
#GP path overhead, if we actually constructed a real IO bitmap for
dom0. That would require using the 8k following the TSS.
