If we cannot allocate the XIVE VPs in OPAL, the creation of a XIVE or XICS-on-XIVE device is aborted as expected, but we leave kvm->arch.xive set forever since the relase method isn't called in this case. Any subsequent tentative to create a XIVE or XICS-on-XIVE for this VM will thus always fail. This is a problem for QEMU since it destroys and re-creates these devices when the VM is reset: the VM would be restricted to using the emulated XIVE or XICS forever. As an alternative to adding rollback, do not assign kvm->arch.xive before making sure the XIVE VPs are allocated in OPAL.
