[PATCH] KVM: Initialize kvm_arch_ops on unload
The latest version of kvm doesn't initialize kvm_arch_ops in kvm_init(), which causes an error with the following sequence. 1. Load the supported arch's module. 2. Load the unsupported arch's module. (loading error) 3. Unload the unsupported arch's module. You'll get the following error message after step 3. "BUG: unable to handle to handle kernel paging request at virtual address xxxxxxxx" The problem here is that the unsupported arch's module overwrites kvm_arch_ops of the supported arch's module at step 2. This patch initializes kvm_arch_ops upon loading architecture specific kvm module, and prevents overwriting kvm_arch_ops when kvm_arch_ops is already set correctly.
