Hi Boris and Kirill, I only see VBS mentioned here so I don't have much
context, but VBS likely means virtualization-based security. There is a
public document for it.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/oem-vbs

Whether it needs a new isolation type or not, I am not sure. Perhaps
Tianyu can provide more context.

Wei.
