Honestly, exactly the same is true of #VE, #HV and #SX.

What we do in the hypervisor is wire up one handler for all unknown
exceptions (to avoid potential future #DF issues) leading to a panic. 
Wouldn't it be better to do this unconditionally, especially as #GP/#NP
doesn't work for PV guests for unregistered callbacks, rather than
fixing up piecewise like this?
