PowerPC:
KVM for PowerPC supports selected embedded cores. It also supports all 64-bit server / desktop class CPUs like the G5, POWER4 and above, Cell, 970MP, and 32-bit desktop class CPUs like the G3, G4, e300, etc.
| BookE 440 | YES |
| BookE 500 | YES |
| Book3S PPC64 | YES |
| Book3S PPC32 | YES |
S390:
Every S390 that has 64-bit support can use KVM. So if your mainframe is at least a z9, you're good!
