QEMU has historically used uppercase CPU model names like "POWER8",
"POWER9", etc. However, starting with commit c5354f54aa60 ("ppc: make
cpu_model translation to type consistent"), QEMU began using lowercase
CPU model names (e.g., "power8") for newer POWER generations.
This shift in naming convention causes host-model compatibility checks
to fail, as the logic in ppc64CheckCompatibilityMode was case-sensitive
and expected only uppercase model names.
This patch adds support for "power11" as a valid host-model. Also
updates the compatibility logic to treat host-model names case-insensitively,
enabling recognition of both legacy uppercase and newer lowercase formats.
To ensure compatibility checks work correctly across POWER CPU generations,
avoiding false mismatches due to case differences.

This commit is years old from QEMU 2.11.0.
What is special about power11 that we suddenly have a problem
with host-model today ?

This patch feels like it is doing two different things in one
commit - adding 'power11' and changing behaviour of code to
be case insensitive. This likely ought to be separate commits,
with a better explanation of why we need the case insensitive
changes now, since the change on QEMU was 8 years ago.
