Set kvm_x86_ops with the vendor's ops only after ->hardware_setup() completes to "prevent" using kvm_x86_ops before they are ready, i.e. to generate a null pointer fault instead of silently consuming unconfigured state. An alternative implementation would be to have ->hardware_setup() return the vendor's ops, but that would require non-trivial refactoring, and would arguably result in less readable code, e.g. ->hardware_setup() would need to use ERR_PTR() in multiple locations, and each vendor's declaration of the runtime ops would be less obvious. No functional change intended.

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.
