I sent a note yesterday :-/ Here it is again: With this revert, running qemu with HV KVM and -cpu POWER7 fails on rea= l=20 POWER7 machine as my machine has pvr 003f 0201 and POWER7 is an alias o= f=20 POWER7_v2.3 (pvr 003f 0203); and this is what I tried to fix at the fir= st=20 place. QEMU looks at classes first, and if not found - at aliases, so t= his=20 worked. I would rename "POWER5+" to "POWER5+_0.0" and make "POWER5+" an alias f= or=20 POWER5+_v2.1 (or POWER5+_0.0). --=20 Alexey
