I guess no. Actually without the compatibility check, kvm_resume() tries to
enable it by calling hardware_enable_nolock(). The real effect on error case of
this patch is to print out (potentially) more helpful message gracefully by
check_processor_compatibility instead of error message of haredware_enable.
