Re: [libvirt] [Qemu-devel] [qemu-devel] Default machine type setting for ppc64

We encounter this problem in openstack which always use
default machine type. Currently, QEMU sets mac99 as default
setting for ppc64 but it doesn't work on our platform at all.
I tried to fix this in libvirt which it is not acceptable because
libvirt only considers to get default setting from QEMU.
This will need to be fixed for ARM -- the whole idea of there
being a sensible "default machine type" and it being the one
QEMU starts by default is pretty x86-centric. libvirt needs
to have support for specifying which machine to use.
(There is consideration of changing the default ppc64
machine, as it happens; but in general you can't rely
on QEMU doing what you want if you don't tell it
specifically which board you wanted.)
