probably, yeah.

i suspect this is a problem on trusty, when using ppc hardware or x86
hardware (meaning, setting up a ppc guest with virsh on either x86 or
ppc host hw).  But I don't have access to ppc hw so I can't verify
there.

oh i agree, it shouldn't break anything, i was just listing the
theoretical regressions. :-)

well if anyone wanted to use qemu-system-ppc with libvirt on trusty,
this would be needed, but I suspect nobody does; and my interest was
emulating ppc on an x86 box, which appears to have other problems on
trusty, so we'll just move to xenial.
