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.
Ah, libvirt does have support for specifying one machine type. I mean that libvirt set default according to QEMU's default setting, and management tools are dependent on this default setting without users' specified setting. I tried to change the default setting according to ppc64 platform in libvirt, but it is not accepted.
(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.)
I see. Thanks for your suggestion. :)
