Qemu doesn't implement 440 emulation, so pretend we're 405 instead. (We used
to provide our own cpu_ppc_find_by_name() function that allowed us to use
440.)
This fixes a fatal runtime error introduced in a recent upstream qemu merge.

Hi Marcelo:
With kvm-72 + this patch set, timekeeping in RHEL3, RHEL4 and RHEL5
guests with 2 vcpus is much better. Approaching 5 hours of uptime and
all 3 guests are within 2 seconds of the host (part of the delta
measurement based). I'll let all 3 run overnight and then turn on ntp
tomorrow.
As device paravirtualization requires a modified device driver (PV
driver) in the guest, which is aware about the hypervisor, can this be
done for proprietary OSs by writing a device driver for them and then
installing it in the guest OS ?
If yes, has it been done for Windows guests so far ?
