Could you please consider deprecating the POWER8NVL and POWER8E CPUs and associated chips and machines ? I think keeping POWER8 is fine since it has different HW implementation from the following generations. However, the POWER8NVL and POWER8E variants don't add much to QEMU. They were practical

[PATCH v5 0/8] Power11 support for QEMU [PowerNV]

2025-03-08 Thread Aditya Gupta
Overview Add support for Power11 powernv machine type, to emulate PowerNV VMs running on Power11. As Power11 core is same as Power10, hence much of the code has been reused from Power10. And Power10 PNV Chip has been declared as parent of Power11 PNV Chip so that any existing/new fun
