Hello!

It was broken by 662d9715840aef44dcb573b0f9fab9e8319c868a.
Actually, runtime detection was never implemented. The patch message just says that it can be done.
And in order to run KVM on my lame board i had to disable VGIC and VTIMER in kernel .config. The
actual breakage happened because without these definitions kvm_vgic_map_resources() was just a
do-nothing inline.
vGIC can perfectly be emulated by userspace. And even generic timer can, with some tricks. So i
decided to restore this functionality.
Kind regards,
