This is a regression over 9.04, though 9.04 has other bugs. However, when selecting 'qemu/mips': $ virsh dumpxml test5 |grep qemu Connecting to uri: qemu:///system <domain type='qemu' id='7'> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-mipsel</emulator>
9.04 uses the wrong machine '-M' option for ppc and sparc, so they don't work at all.
