Just to be sure I installed qemu-system-ppc version 1:2.6.1+dfsg- 0ubuntu5.3 from yakkety-updates and the tests pass.

Such changes are appropriate provided that we can ensure not to affect upgrades on existing hardware." * Without the Fix that hardware won't run Xenial guests under current Xenials Qemu version * The fix lets processors that support it run in PowerISA 2.07 compatibility mode (plus a few no-op changes as backport dependencies) [Test Case] * Run a Xenial Guest in KVM on one of the specific HW revisions being affected. [Regression Potential] * Changes are PPC only, so fallout should be contained to that * Patches were created by IBM and in Upstream qemu since 2.7 * The effective change is rather small, only allow different compat level on this other cpu class * There are a few refactoring changes needed to get the backport done, while they should be a no-op that is a regression potential (still limited to ppc64el) [Other Info] * Needed for certifying this Hardware for Ubuntu Upon running the virtualization test from the certification test suite, the kvm guest test fails with the following error: kvm_init_vcpu failed: Invalid argument This same test works on multiple other IBM Power 8 and Openpower servers. kvm-ok tells us that kvm virtualization is supported. I have tried with SMT enabled and disabled. I have tried the latest cloud image as well as previous onces we had saved. I have tried running the qemu-system-ppc64 command found below manually with the same error.
