ppc64Compute(), called by cpuNodeData(), is used not only to retrieve the driver-specific data associated to a guest CPU definition, but also to check whether said guest CPU is compatible with the host CPU. If the user is not interested in the CPU data, it's perfectly fine to pass a NULL pointer instead of a return location, and the compatibility data returned should not be affected by this. One of the checks, specifically the one on CPU model name, was however only performed if the return location was non-NULL.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
