We may need that? When destroy VM, it's:

  kvm_destroy_vm()
    foreach (bus) do kvm_io_bus_destroy()
      kfree(bus)                          <--- [1]
    kvm_arch_destroy_vm()
      kvm_pic_destroy()
        kvm_io_bus_unregister_dev()       <--- [2]

Here if without patch 1 we'll reference bus->dev_count in [2], while
actually the bus has been freed already in [1]. Thanks,
