Hi Ben,
actually the use of quilt/patch didn't handle the link between
subarch-ppc64el-linux.c
and subarch-powerpc-linux.c . Sorry.
I redid the patch using git.
Compared to Ubuntu, this time I also added PowerNV so that is it handled in the
platform
list and was enclined to return "chrp_ibm" but I would need your confirmation on
that, I'm not sure of what hides behind that specific term.
As far as I know for now, ppc64el is available in guests ("platform: pSeries")
and ppc64el P8 hosts will have "plateform: PowerNV" so that should cover all.
Thanks for your comments,
Fred
