[PATCH 3/3] KVM: Recover after an arch module load failure

From: Avi Kivity
Date: Sun Dec 31 2006 - 08:22:11 EST


From: Yoshimi Ichiyanagi <ichiyanagi.yoshimi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If we load the wrong arch module, it leaves behind kvm_arch_ops set, which
prevents loading of the correct arch module later.

Fix be not setting kvm_arch_ops until we're sure it's good.
