[Libguestfs] libguestfs supermin error

[abhishek jain]

Hi Rich

I'm able to solve the problem regarding PAPR in libguestfs on my powerpc
ubuntu.By default the libguestfs was configuring pseries machine and
afterwards I changed it to my original machine i.e ppce500 .The changes are
performed in ./src/guestfs-internal.h file.

Thanks
