Would have been great to reference which qemu commit number, but there's
probably way too many.  Perhaps best to note it's as of QEMU 2.11.  My
quick search turns up "03c9141d75" and "4a12c699d", is that about right?
Although there's quite a few other ones too

This hunk would typically go under the "---" below to give a hint to the
reviewer about what changed.

Hopefully no one someday decides POWER8 is more "powerful" than Power8
;-) (couldn't resist).

This seems like a reasonable way to approach the problem.  I can fix up
the comment message a bit and will push later... Just want to make sure
that no one else comes up with a latent concern...  The only thing that
springs to my mind is migration possibly.
