Public bug reported:
Currently, if you don't specify the parameter "--arch=ppc64" to virt-
install, the virt-install will fail as follows:
$ virt-install --name breno --memory 4096 --disk size=500,bus=virtio
--cdrom mini.iso
WARNING CDROM media does not print to the text console by default, so you
likely will not see text install output. You might
want to use --location.

ERROR XML error: No PCI buses available
Domain installation does not appear to have been successful.
If it was, you can restart your domain by running:
virsh --connect qemu:///system start breno
otherwise, please restart your installation.
On the other side, if the option --arch=ppc64 is passed, it works fine. I
generated a diff of both XML generated in both cases, and the result is the
following (with some unimportant parts removed):

I understand that libvirt should consider ppc64le a ppc64 guests for all
purposes.
