IBM Power processors encode PVR as CPU family in higher 16 bits and a CPU version in lower 16 bits. Since there is no significant change in behavior between versions, there is no point to add every single CPU version in cpu_map.xml and check for the same in cpu_powerpc.c
Just an idea, but what if we select the model based on the whole pvr and only in case none is found, we will fallback to the first one that has the same high 16 bits? When we have already power8_v1.0 and you're adding power8, we will never select the second one in the way you have implemented it.
