Subject: [PATCH 25/48] KVM: do not register i8254 PIO regions until we are initialized

From: Gregory Haskins <ghaskins@...ell.com>

We currently publish the i8254 resources to the pio_bus before the devices
are fully initialized.  Since we hold the pit_lock, its probably not
a real issue.  But lets clean this up anyway.
