Historically PowerPC 64 was always supported with qemu-kvm in RHEL.
In future RHEL-9 it is being discontinued and this was addressed
in
commit 03cc3c9064322ac4028a2213105cd230fe28c013
Author: Jiri Denemark <jdenemar@redhat.com>
Date: Wed Apr 21 14:55:03 2021 +0200
spec: Do not build qemu driver for Power on RHEL-9
when the specfile was cleaned up to remove RHEL-7 support:
commit 0f601d2f868f2017cdd16e0a7ca90a59e7d5e120
Author: Andrea Bolognani <abologna@redhat.com>
Date: Wed May 5 19:30:46 2021 +0200
spec: Bump min_fedora and min_rhel
it also removed the logic that applied to RHEL-8 wrt arch list
and lost PowerPC 64 support on 8. This reverts that part of the
change but with the condition reversed to prioritize the future
state.

Libvirt API for virtualization
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.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
