        sys/dev/nvmm/nvmm.c: revision 1.26

In nvmm_open(), make sure an implementation was found. This fixes an
initialization bug triggerable in certain conditions.

If you build nvmm inside the kernel, AND have a cpu that is not supported,
AND run nvmmctl (or qemu-nvmm, both being the only binaries in the "nvmm"
group), you get a page fault.

This is because when nvmm is built inside the kernel, the kernel registers
nvmm_cdevsw behind nvmm's back. The ioctl is therefore always accessible,
and will hit NULL pointers if nvmm_init() failed.

Problem reported by Andrei M. on netbsd-users@, thanks.
