I'll queue it now. Thanks, M.

I'll fix that shortly, thanks for the heads up! M.

When the arch timer code fails to initialize (for example because the memory mapped timer doesn't work, which is currently seen with the AEM model), then KVM just continues happily with a final result that KVM eventually does a NULL pointer dereference of the uninitialized cycle counter. Check directly for this in the init path and give the user a reasonable error in this case.
