Notes:
- As before, the BIOS has to be patch to activate VT-d. See
http://forum.notebookreview.com/sony/641483-sony-vaio-z2-2011-advanced-menu-bios-hack.html
- The 2nd GPU (Radeon) is external and has not been tested (via
thunderbolt and part of the external CD-burner). It should work but I
guess you can't disconnect the cable.
- The media port (sdcard) can be dedicated to an AppVM but has to be
shutdown before suspend.
- TPM working but AEM not tested.
- SSD raid 0 working perfectly.
