    Fix reported ppc64le bug on video selection
    
    ppc64le apparently is the same as other ppc plaforms in it's video
    selection. This one line fix was put into a reported bug and addresses
    this for people.

Title:
  illegal video driver for PPC64 little endian system

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) liberty series:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  for openstack kilo version, when creating a instance,   libvirt creates 
cirrus video type in template xml file  while is not supported for  PPC64 
little endian system.  I debug the code and finally find mistake in function 
_add_video_driver of file nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py
  In function,  there is a logic that video driver is determinded by guest 
arch.   If arch is in (PPC, PPC64) then return vga, otherwise video driver is 
determined by other options.  For PPC64 little endian system,  guest arch is 
PPC64LE so that video driver is determined by other option (In our environment, 
with kvm virt type and spice disabled , video driver is determined by 
hw_video_model)  which makes video driver is cirrus .  Exception happens when 
creating vm instance because cirrus video driver is not supported on power 
hardware.
  I  add PPC64LE arch in the guestarch option and it does works.   The patch 
will be attached.
