Hash Page Tables is the page table structure used in POWER8 and previous
machines. POWER9 supports both HPT and Radix Page Tables (RPT), but our
focus on POWER9 guests is with RPT for now.

Just boot a Ubuntu guest built for POWER8 and see if it boots correctly
using HPT. There will be messages in the log stating this.

You need POWER9 hardware to test this.
