When POWER10 CPU was made as default, we missed keeping POWER9 as

This caused breakge in default cpu evaluation for older pseries
machines and hence this fix.

This doesn't make sense.
AFAICT, the commit 51113013f3 was introduced in the QEMU 9.0.0 release,
so it is correct that every machine from pseries-9.0 and newer had the
POWER10 CPU model.
What broke were the machines that already existed prior to the
9.0.0 release, whose default CPU got changed. IOW, the pseries-8.2
and earlier machines.
Thanks Daniel for catching this.
I should have checked using git tags. I have posted v2 here:
