powernv10.

And I still haven't resent the XIVE2/PHB5 patches to enable full support.

The last caveat is not true. I found the issue since in the decrementer
model.

Well... <sigh>...

According to IBM new branding rules (I wasn't able to find any external
documents on this but we were asked to use it externally), the processor
name is now Power instead of POWER. As the document I have access to
only references Power9 and Power10, I am interpreting this as "don't
mess with old names", specially as I don't want to start rewriting
documents and comments because of these marketing changes of humor. TBH,
I am OK either way.

I will include the other suggestions in a new patch and resubmit.

Cheers,

Leo
