The current libvirt-cim implementation makes some assumptions that are only true for x86 architectures. As we want to enable libvirt-cim for s390 we need to makes sure that valid libvirt guest definitions are being built for that architecture while not breaking the existing implementation. Patch 1 fixes potential memory access problems. Patches 2 and 3 introduce two new properties arch and machine, effectively a pass-through of the underlying libvirt properties, for the necessary distinction between x86 and other guests, and suppress the default framebuffer for s390. Patches 4 and 5 make sure that a minimal SVPC guest definition (VSSD and RASD) will result in a correct libvirt guest definition for the current hypervisor.
