Just like Paolo said, the error you report should never happen, and
would be caught by a WARN_ON() the first time anyone boots the kernel.
Also, failing to register the device ops results in not being able to
instantiate a VGIC. No harm done. I really don't understand why you want
to rewrite the probe functions.
There is plenty of things that could use a major rewrite in KVM/ARM, but
this is just not one of them.
Thanks,
