qemu: Add conditions for qemu-kvm use on ppc64
qemu-kvm can be used to run ppc64 guests on ppc64le hosts and vice versa, since the hardware is actually the same and the endianness is chosen by the guest kernel. Up until now, however, libvirt didn't allow the use of qemu-kvm to run guests if their endianness didn't match the host's. Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1267882
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.

virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
