+    PPC64 add support for the Power non virtualized platform
+    
+    Thanks to Carl Love for this patch and the following description:
+    The Power 8 system can be run as a non-virtualized machine.  In
+    this case, the platform is "PowerNV".  This patch adds the platform
+    to the possible IBM platform types.
