Stephen,

there is a semantic conflict between tip and kvm:

const __initconst struct hypervisor_x86 x86_hyper_kvm = {
	.name			= "KVM",
	.detect			= kvm_detect,
	.type			= X86_HYPER_KVM,
	.init.init_platform	= kvmclock_init,
	.init.guest_late_init	= kvm_guest_init,
	.init.x2apic_available	= kvm_para_available,
	.init.init_platform	= kvm_init_platform,
};

Note that .init.init_platform is initialized twice.

The right fix is to keep the kvm version, and add a kvmclock_init() call
to kvm_init_platform.

Thanks,

Paolo
