PowerISA allows processors to run VMs in binary compatibility ("compat") mode supporting an older version of ISA. QEMU has recently added support to explicitly denote a VM running in compatibility mode through commit 6d9412ea & 8dfa3a5e85. Now, a "compat" mode VM can be run by invoking this qemu commandline on a POWER8 host: -cpu host,compat=power7. This patch allows libvirt to exploit cpu mode 'host-model' to describe this new mode for PowerKVM guests. For example, when a user wants to request a power7 vm to run in compatibility mode on a Power8 host, this can be described in XML as follows : <cpu mode='host-model'> <model>power7</model> </cpu> Signed-off-by: NPrerna Saxena <prerna@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NLi Zhang <zhlcindy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NPradipta Kr.
