[v2.6.34-stable 66/77] KVM: x86: Prevent starting PIT timers in the absence of irqchip support

From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com>

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

commit 0924ab2cfa98b1ece26c033d696651fd62896c69 upstream.

User space may create the PIT and forgets about setting up the irqchips.
In that case, firing PIT IRQs will crash the host:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000128
IP: [<ffffffffa10f6280>] kvm_set_irq+0x30/0x170 [kvm]
...
Call Trace:
 [<ffffffffa11228c1>] pit_do_work+0x51/0xd0 [kvm]
 [<ffffffff81071431>] process_one_work+0x111/0x4d0
 [<ffffffff81071bb2>] worker_thread+0x152/0x340
 [<ffffffff81075c8e>] kthread+0x7e/0x90
 [<ffffffff815a4474>] kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10

Prevent this by checking the irqchip mode before starting a timer. We
can't deny creating the PIT if the irqchips aren't set up yet as
current user land expects this order to work.
