I talked to Michael Roth on this. It looks like everything is there for spectre mitigation but there's two patches to allow power 8 guests to use cap_cfpc=workaround:

072f416a53: target/ppc: Don't require private l1d cache on POWER8 for cap_ppc_safe_cache
b2540203bd: ppc/spapr_caps: Don't disable cap_cfpc on POWER8 by default

Looks like the first one also pre-reqs:
8fea704 target/ppc: Factor out the parsing in kvmppc_get_cpu_characteristics()

Suraj - anything else needed or you suggest there?

Finally, this is, as Michael said, cosmetic, but if you wanted you can pull it in (it's not necessary):
