There might be some confusion on PowerKVM here, the pKVM support is in 
tree in the libvirt driver, that's what the PowerKVM third party CI is 
running against.

The new as of last week PowerVM driver in stackforge [1] (and older 
PowerVC driver in stackforge [2]) are different and shouldn't be in the 
hypervisor support matrix wiki or the in-tree hypervisor support table.

I can't wait for the day when there will be one power driver to rule 
them all and Frodo will have to destroy it in Mount Doom to avoid confusion.

The only thing I'd say about the pKVM support in the in-tree matrix is 
what it's distro support is, i.e. if I have latest Fedora ppc64 will 
nova libvirt/qemu work with it?  How about Ubuntu?
