Subject[PATCH 3/3] KVM: Recover after an arch module load failure
FromAvi Kivity <>
DateSun, 31 Dec 2006 13:21:52 -0000
From: Yoshimi Ichiyanagi <ichiyanagi.yoshimi@lab.ntt.co.jp>

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.
