BookE KVM is in a deep maintenance state, I'm not sure how much testing it gets. I don't have a test setup, and it does not look like QEMU has any HV architecture enabled. It hasn't been too painful but there are some cases where it causes a bit of problem not being able to test, e.g.,
https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2022-November/251452.html Time to begin removal process, or are there still people using it? I'm happy to to keep making occasional patches to try keep it going if there are people testing upstream. Getting HV support into QEMU would help with long term support, not sure how big of a job that would be.
