kvm_setup_pv_tlb_flush will waste memory and print a misguiding message when KVM paravirtualization is not available. Intel SDM says that the when cpuid is used with EAX higher than the maximum supported value for basic of extended function, the data for the highest supported basic function will be returned. So, in some systems, kvm_arch_para_features will return bogus data, causing kvm_setup_pv_tlb_flush to detect support for pv tlb flush. Testing for kvm_para_available will work as it checks for the hypervisor signature. Besides, when the "nopv" command line parameter is used, it should not continue as well, as kvm_guest_init will no be called in that case.

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.
