If you have an older QEMU than 2.10 you cannot choose -cpu z14 so it should not 
matter.

The last update was not precise. While qemu 2.10 is sufficient, so is 2.5.
Let me explain:

The kernel commit changes the Sigp handling in the kernel. This is only
used if the QEMU version is older than 2.3 because since QEMU 2.3
(commit f16d3f58748acff4c23f9149c3261844b4d595d5    s390x/kvm: enable
the new SIGP handling in user space) sigp set architecture is handled in
QEMU anyway and the kernel part is never executed.

So kernel commit b697e435aeee99b7 is really just a fixup if somebody
uses an ancient QEMU  and not necessary. for 16.04 or later.
