qemu-kvm can be used to run ppc64 guests on ppc64le hosts and vice versa, since the hardware is actually the same and the endianness is chosen by the guest kernel. Up until now, however, libvirt didn't allow the use of qemu-kvm to run guests if their endianness didn't match the host's. Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1267882
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
