1. the bug reporter is using a powervm partition. KVM cannot be used
there. This is not a KVM bug.

of us from IBM to certify
2. the xenial cloud images ha
I have also shown that this issue has the exact same results on PowerNV
above.

The PowerVM machine I've been using for these tests has the following

The PowerNV server has the following output:

I don't think PPC supports kvm the same way as x86:
