Historically PowerPC 64 was always supported with qemu-kvm in RHEL.
In future RHEL-9 it is being discontinued and this was addressed
in
commit 03cc3c9064322ac4028a2213105cd230fe28c013
Author: Jiri Denemark <jdenemar@redhat.com>
Date: Wed Apr 21 14:55:03 2021 +0200
spec: Do not build qemu driver for Power on RHEL-9
when the specfile was cleaned up to remove RHEL-7 support:
commit 0f601d2f868f2017cdd16e0a7ca90a59e7d5e120
Author: Andrea Bolognani <abologna@redhat.com>
Date: Wed May 5 19:30:46 2021 +0200
spec: Bump min_fedora and min_rhel
it also removed the logic that applied to RHEL-8 wrt arch list
and lost PowerPC 64 support on 8. This reverts that part of the
change but with the condition reversed to prioritize the future
state.

Reviewed-by: Neal Gompa <ngompa13@gmail.com> But, I'm kind of surprised that this is going away, since IBM has put special attention on improving PowerKVM support specifically for RHEL, so this seems really weird... -- 真実はいつも一つ!/ Always, there's only one truth!
