-Qemu options -- After discussion with the KVM developers, they have
-recommended some flags which will improve the safety and reliability

-
--no-hpet      HPET support is broken and should be disabled.
-
--rtc-td-hack  Keeps the rtc clock source track time correctly.

--drive file=...,if=[ide|virtio],cache=off

+  ppc (32 bit) works with qemu from git, however there is no serial console

+  ppc64 requires extra parameters:
