Would have been great to reference which qemu commit number, but
there's probably way too many. Perhaps best to note it's as of QEMU
2.11. My quick search turns up "03c9141d75" and "4a12c699d", is
that
about right?
Thanks, next time I'll try to be more specific. Yes Qemu 2.11. The
full
patch series is at

This hunk would typically go under the "---" below to give a hint to
the reviewer about what changed.
ack
Hopefully no one someday decides POWER8 is more "powerful"
than
Power8 ;-) (couldn't resist).
groan :-)

This seems like a reasonable way to approach the problem. I can fix
up the comment message a bit and will push later... Just want to make
sure that no one else comes up with a latent concern... The only
thing that springs to my mind is migration possibly.
It seems to me that the in the
worst we might be more permissive with
the patch than without; I am hopeful for the sake of sanity that nobody
actually has two model names disambiguated only by case!
