This doesn't seem to be really necessary since the function is not
called with model == NULL and I don't think that should change. If any
caller wants to pass NULL for a model, it should rather report an error
and return instead of trying to copy this NULL.

However, the only called of ppc64ModelCopy is pretty confusing:

    static struct ppc64_model *
    ppc64ModelFromCPU(const virCPUDef *cpu,
                      const struct ppc64_map *map)
    {
        struct ppc64_model *model;

        if (!(model = ppc64ModelFind(map, cpu->model))) {
            virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR,
                           _("Unknown CPU model %s"), cpu->model);
            goto error;
        }

        if (!(model = ppc64ModelCopy(model)))
            goto error;

        return model;

     error:
        ppc64ModelFree(model);
        return NULL;
    }

It uses "model" for pointing to a model which must not be freed and also
to its copy which has to be freed. There's no bug here but I think
changing is a good idea :-)
