--sparse``) now handle if one of the stream ends is a block device.
+ * Remove NVDIMM auto-alignment for pSeries Guests
+
+ This feature was introduced in libvirt v6.2.0 as part of the overall
+ NVDIMM support for pSeries guests. The idea was to relieve the user
+ from knowing ppc64 alignment details, but the end result is that we
+ ended up with inconsistencies between domain XML and actual NVDIMM
+ size the guest is using. To promote consistency between domain XML
+ and the guest, unaligned NVDIMM sizes for pSeries guests will now be
+ forbid and no size auto-alignment will be made. Instead, libvirt will
+ suggest an aligned round up size for the user.
