"-machine pseries,qemucompat=2.0"? I would keep using pseries-2.0. There might be some class hierarchy, like spapr-machine spapr-machine-2.2 spapr-machine-2.1 I don't know what Andreas had in mind though, but you can check out Eduardo's patches for QOMifying the PC machines and take inspiration from there. That's probably a safe bet. Paolo
