qemu: Memory locking is only required for KVM guests on ppc64
Due to the way the hardware works, KVM on ppc64 always requires memory locking; however, that is not the case for non-KVM ppc64 guests, eg. ppc64 guests that are running on x86_64 with TCG. Only require memory locking for ppc64 guests if they are using KVM or, as it's the case for all architectures, they have host devices assigned using VFIO.

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.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
