Comment 5 for bug 1663315

Sorry I was short on background information

Openstack Nova (libvirt) on i386 and amd64 arch already does this. This bug is specifically for ppc64 lacking what x86 already does.

(For info on how this is done see https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1661693/comments/2)

ppc64 hardware (and qemu) does not have DMI data, so an exact copy of the implementation is not possible.

It is possible we do need a qemu function added. I am looking to some ppc64 experts to get more information on whether we could have openstack utilize an existing function or if we would need feature added to qemu first.
