[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] spapr: exit gentfully when CPU doesn't support requested compat mode

[Greg Kurz]

QEMU currently aborts if the user asks something unrealistic like power9
compat mode with a POWER8 CPU for example. Since this isn't a bug in QEMU,
there's no point in aborting. The same goes with the other possible error
paths in ppc_set_compat_all(). Let's just terminate QEMU instead.
