[PATCH v3] kvm-vfio: do not use module_init

From: Paolo Bonzini
Date: Wed Sep 24 2014 - 08:09:39 EST


/me got confused between the kernel and QEMU. In the kernel, you can
only have one module_init function, and it will prevent unloading the
module unless you also have the corresponding module_exit function.

So, commit 80ce1639727e (KVM: VFIO: register kvm_device_ops dynamically,
2014-09-02) broke unloading of the kvm module, by adding a module_init
function and no module_exit.

Repair it by making kvm_vfio_ops_init weak, and checking it in
kvm_init.
