Daniel, that's a different problem. Serge said that 6 out of the last
7 tests in 0.8.7 fail for him. These are hostdev-pci-address,
restore-v1, restore-v2, restore-v2, migrate and qemu-ns-no-env. The
tests that are failing for you were added after 0.8.7.

So we have two ARM/PPC related problems here.

Daniel. qemuxml2argvtest outputs the capabilities, does it contain a
host/cpu element? Maybe the problem it that the CPU data decoding in
libvirt is x86 specific as it relies on the CPUID command.
