Unfortunately, it's not the same even between BIOS and UEFI booted
WS2016 (Gen1/Gen2). It is, however, the same across reboot for the same
image so for example for WS2016Gen1 it is '0x294000' so if I do:

diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.c b/arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.c

it all works. I'm really puzzled.
