Comment 49 for bug 1832622

That is the effect of the lack of "2b57ecd0208f KVM: PPC: Book3S: Add count cache flush parameters to kvmppc_get_cpu_char()" in Disco.

QEMU checks for KVM_PPC_CPU_BEHAV_FLUSH_COUNT_CACHE which is introduced in the above commit:

But I'll test the extra two scenarios anyway.
