The QEMU project is currently considering to move its bug tracking to
another system. For this we need to know which bugs are still valid
and which could be closed already. Thus we are setting older bugs to
"Incomplete" now.
If you still think this bug report here is valid, then please switch
the state back to "New" within the next 60 days, otherwise this report
will be marked as "Expired". Or please mark it as "Fix Released" if
the problem has been solved with a newer version of QEMU already.
Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.
** Changed in: qemu
Status: New => Incomplete

Title:
PowerPC guest does not emulate L2 and L3 cache for KVM vCPUs
Status in QEMU:
Incomplete
Bug description:
PowerPC KVM guest does not emulate L2 and L2 caches for vCPU, it would
be good to have them emulated to guest if not any known
issues/limitation already with PowerPC.

background: x86 enabling cpu L2 cache bydefault and L3 cache on demand for kvm guest
and claims performance improvement as vcpus can be
benefited with lesser `vmexits due to guest send IPIs.` with L3 cache enabled, below was patch for same.
