Do arm/arch specific initialization directly in arm's module_init(), now called kvm_arm_init(), instead of bouncing through kvm_init() to reach kvm_arch_init(). Invoking kvm_arch_init() is the very first action performed by kvm_init(), so from a initialization perspective this is a glorified nop. Avoiding kvm_arch_init() also fixes a mostly benign bug as kvm_arch_exit() doesn't properly unwind if a later stage of kvm_init() fails. While the soon-to-be-deleted comment about compiling as a module being unsupported is correct, kvm_arch_exit() can still be called by kvm_init() if any step after the call to kvm_arch_init() succeeds. Add a FIXME to call out that pKVM initialization isn't unwound if kvm_init() fails, which is a pre-existing problem inherited from kvm_arch_exit(). Making kvm_arch_init() a nop will also allow dropping kvm_arch_init() and kvm_arch_exit() entirely once all other architectures follow suit.

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.
