Limitations of the POWER architecture mean that you can't run eg. a POWER7 guest on a POWER8 host when using KVM. This applies to all guests, not just those using VIR_CPU_MATCH_STRICT in the CPU definition; in fact, exact and strict CPU matching are basically the same on ppc64. This means, of course, that hosts using different CPUs have to be considered incompatible as well. Change ppc64Compute(), called by cpuGuestData(), to reflect this fact and update test cases accordingly. Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1250977
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.
