And this dynamic allocation occurs in acpi_processor_power_init() if pr->flags.power evaluates to non-zero. On KVM guests, pr->flags.power evaluates to zero, hence dev is never allocated. This causes the NULL pointer (dev) dereference in cpuidle_disable_device() during a subsequent CPU online operation. Fix this by ensuring that dev is non-NULL before dereferencing.
