Re: [PATCH v4 5/5] cpu_ppc64: Add POWER11 hostmodel support and accept case insensitive

QEMU has historically used uppercase CPU model names like "POWER8", "POWER9", etc. However, starting with commit c5354f54aa60 ("ppc: make cpu_model translation to type consistent"), QEMU began using lowercase CPU model names (e.g., "power8") for newer POWER generations. This shift in naming convention causes host-model compatibility checks to fail, as the logic in ppc64CheckCompatibilityMode was case-sensitive and expected only uppercase model names. This patch adds support for "power11" as a valid host-model. Also updates the compatibility logic to treat host-model names case-insensitively, enabling recognition of both legacy uppercase and newer lowercase formats. To ensure compatibility checks work correctly across POWER CPU generations, avoiding false mismatches due to case differences.
