Hi Aditya,

One comment below regarding test coverage.

By replacing the hardcoded machine type here instead of testing both,
QEMU will no longer exercise the XIVE2 path on Power10.

If a future change breaks the Power10 machine initialization while
Power11 continues to work, this test would still pass.

Would it make sense to run this test for both `powernv10` and
`powernv11`, similar to how the SPI qtest iterates over the supported
machines?

Thanks,
Nikhil
