Either of e1000, spapr-vlan or virtio are supported and improved upon. So its better to default to one of the above and virtio is the saner default.

IOW that has nothing todo with PPC64 architecture, which means that is not an acceptable reason to special case this for PPC64.

Sorry I should have put it clearly. rtl8139 is not supported and maintained for ppc64. It also lacks functionality like ppc64 guest network boot.
