Sorry - I forgot to mention this before, but this check is slightly
buggy.  You want

if ( d->max_vcpus && d->vcpu[0] && d->vcpu[0]->arch.vm_event )

d->max_vcpus being non-zero guarentees that d->vcpu has been allocated,
but you still need to check that d->vcpu[0] has been allocated before
following the pointer.

With that fixed, Reviewed-by: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>
