Hello Martin,

Yes, I'm sending this patch because I'm having the following problem
on a Neoverse-N1 machine.
# grep "Cannot find CPU model" /var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log
operation failed: Cannot find CPU model with PVR 0xd0c


Yes, that's the proper PVR for Neoverse N1, which Altra is based upon,
but the CPU vendor (or "implementer" in /proc/cpuinfo) is still Arm
('A', 0x41).  I dumped the MIDR_EL1 register on Altra and it is:

0x00000000413fd0c1
          ^^||^^^|
vendor ---/ || | |
version ----/| | |
architecture / | |
pvr -----------/ |
revision --------/

Ampere is only visible in the BIOS Vendor ID, but not for the CPU.  So
I'd say just remove the Ampere vendor (since we don't have any CPU in
the map from them) and change the vendor for the CPUs to ARM and it'll
also work as you expect.

And I saw that Fujitsu sent a similar patch to support their CPU model
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2022-September/234118.html

We have a lot of Ampere machines in our beaker, so we always get this error.
QE has a tp-libvirt auto case that always fails with this error logging.
So I want to send this patch to fix it.

Thanks in advance :)
Zhenyu

Sorry for misleading you earlier.  Looking at it now it seems that
all the Neoverse CPUs are from Arm and Ampere computing only makes the
Altra which is based on Neoverse N1.

I guess I am not the right one to review this code, sorry for that.  But
I would guess we need to recognise Neoverse models as Arm and I have no
idea how the Ampere behaves wrt PVR.  Are you basing this on some HW as
well?

Thanks,
Martin
