It's a problem if we want to migrate the guest to a POWER8 host while the kernel is not started to set the value to the one expected for a POWER8 CPU. The "-machine max-cpu-compat=power8" should allow to migrate a POWER9 KVM host to a POWER8 KVM host, but because patb_entry is set, the destination QEMU tries to enable radix mode on the POWER8 host. This fails and cancels the migration: Process table config unsupported by the host error while loading state for instance 0x0 of device 'spapr' load of migration failed: Invalid argument This patch doesn't set the PATB entry if the user provides a CPU compatibility mode that doesn't support radix mode.
