^^
Nothing in the commit message that indicates that we're also adding a
power8 type.
Thus it would seem that this could be two commits - I would think adding
the cpuPower8Data
Yes, I separated it to a new patch.
[1] Also, should each of these should be initialized to NULL?
They are zero-initialized since they are static.

Should this change to a qemuTestSetHostCPU(caps, NULL) to work properly
on power8?
It doesn't change much since caps is initialized a few lines earlier as
if (!(caps = virCapabilitiesNew(VIR_ARCH_X86_64, false, false)))
return NULL;
But using qemuTestSetHostCPU() to initialize the CPU is cleaner. Fixed.

ACK 1-10 - just be sure to check/consider thoughts left in 2, 3, and
here. Of course we're post freeze now, so I guess there's a bit more
waiting to do anyway.
You probably haven't noticed it, but this kind of sparse review with
accumulated ACKs scattered in random places of random replies is quite
hard to work with. Either an "ACK series" reply to a cover letter or
separate and standalone replies to each patch with review comments and a
conclusion (ack, nack, conditional ack) makes it a lot easier for the
author to process the review.
