Windows11 bootloops during install #85

Description

@Nimrodium

windows 11 boot loops after restarting while being installed with the latest installer (25H2), I don't have any diagnostic data because I'm unaware how to find that. I was using the mvisor-git AUR package, but switched to manual compilation (I had to apply the patch to spic_agent.cc) to see if that would fix it. but still the same behavior.

windows will boot for 4 seconds and then freeze, then restart.

when i attempted to run the half installed qcow2 image in qemu, it immediately fails and fallsback to the UEFI Shell. manually launching efi/boot/bootx64.efi from the shell gives the same result.

booting the installer in qemu suprisingly failed to boot, and fell back to UEFI Shell quicker than mvisor did in the partially installed medium, but I tried with virt-machine-manager and it was able to boot the installer, i was able to fully install windows 11 in there. attempting to boot this install in mvisor after installing in qemu (i didnt add a TPM module to qemu) it fails to boot as usual.
