The PowerNV (Power Non-Virtualized) QEMU ppc64 machine is the emulation
of a bare-metal IBM Power host. It follows the OPAL (OpenPower
Abstration Layer) API/ABI, most specifically Skiboot [1]. For now,
libvirt has support for the pSeries QEMU machine, which is the emulation
of a logical partition (guest) that would run on top of a bare-metal
system.
This patch introduces the helpers that are going to be used to add a
basic support for PowerNV domains in libvirt. Given that there are quite
a few similarities in how pSeries and PowerNVv should be handled, we're
also adding a 'qemuDomainIsPowerPC' helper that will be used in those
instances.
