We encounter this problem in openstack which always use
default machine type. Currently, QEMU sets mac99 as default
setting for ppc64 but it doesn't work on our platform at all.

I tried to fix this in libvirt which it is not acceptable because
libvirt only considers to get default setting from QEMU.
This will need to be fixed for ARM -- the whole idea of there
being a sensible "default machine type" and it being the one
QEMU starts by default is pretty x86-centric. libvirt needs
to have support for specifying which machine to use.
Ah, libvirt does have support for specifying one machine type.

I mean that libvirt set default according to QEMU's default setting,
and management tools are dependent on this default setting without
users' specified setting.

I tried to change the default setting according to ppc64 platform
in libvirt, but it is not accepted.
(There is consideration of changing the default ppc64
machine, as it happens; but in general you can't rely
on QEMU doing what you want if you don't tell it
specifically which board you wanted.)
I see.  Thanks for your suggestion. :)


thanks
