This doesn't make sense.
AFAICT, the commit 51113013f3 was introduced in the QEMU 9.0.0 release,
so it is correct that every machine from pseries-9.0 and newer had the
POWER10 CPU model.
What broke were the machines that already existed prior to the
9.0.0 release, whose default CPU got changed. IOW, the pseries-8.2
and earlier machines.
With regards,
Daniel
