QEMU currently crashes when the user tries to add a spapr-cpu-core on a non-pseries machine: $ qemu-system-ppc64 -S -machine ppce500,accel=tcg \ -device POWER5+_v2.1-spapr-cpu-core hw/ppc/spapr_cpu_core.c:178:spapr_cpu_core_realize_child: Object 0x55cee1f55160 is not an instance of type spapr-machine Aborted (core dumped) So let's add a proper check for the correct machine time with a more friendly error message here.
