The idea was to relieve the user + from knowing ppc64 alignment details, but the end result is that we + ended up with inconsistencies between domain XML and actual NVDIMM + size the guest is using. To promote consistency between domain XML + and the guest, unaligned NVDIMM sizes for pSeries guests will now be + forbidden and no size auto-alignment will be made. Instead, libvirt will + suggest an aligned round up size for the user. + * **Bug fixes** * virdevmapper: Deal with kernels without DM support
