Hi Daniel,
rtl8139 is not supported and maintained. Either of e1000, spapr-vlan or virtio
are supported and improved upon. So its better to default to one of the above
and virtio is the saner default.
IOW that has nothing todo with PPC64 architecture, which means that is not
an acceptable reason to special case this for PPC64.
Daniel
