I suggested that > kvm_register_device_ops return void. > s390 seems to actually deal with the return value of this function and fail to init KVM at all if it fails, but on the other hand, this function only fails if you're doing something truly stupid and internal-to-kvm incoherent, so I think it's fair to just do a WARN_ON() or even BUG_ON() and make the register function a void. -Christoffer -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
