[ Upstream commit 2b01281273738bf2d6551da48d65db2df3f28998 ] Register /dev/kvm, i.e. expose KVM to userspace, only after all other setup has completed. Once /dev/kvm is exposed, userspace can start invoking KVM ioctls, creating VMs, etc... If userspace creates a VM before KVM is done with its configuration, bad things may happen, e.g. KVM will fail to properly migrate vCPU state if a VM is created before KVM has registered preemption notifiers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
