Since 8dfa3a5e "target-ppc: Add "compat" CPU option" (which was a part of
client-architecture-support patchset) there is a "compat" option
of "-cpu". However it was not documented at all and this is what this
patch is trying to do.

Shouldn't there be a way to show this only for the ppc64 target?


I do not really know, I did not dig deep. I just saw "Intel IOMMU (VT-d)" in "qemu-system-ppc64 --help" output and concluded there is no easy way.
