I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature, or if there are reasons why 
it's never been done. I'm gonna have to rope in Kashyap and danpb since 
they'd likely know more.

Dan/Kaskyap: tl;dr why doesn't the nova libvirt driver, configured for 
qemu, set the guest.arch based on the hw_architecture image property so 
that you can run ppc guests in an x86 host?
