Re: [qemu-s390x] [PATCH] s390/cpumodel: default enable bpb and ppa15 for z196 and later

[David Hildenbrand]

s/s390/s390x

I can't think of a scenario where this would be harmful. Migration with
compat machines will still work correctly. -cpu qemu is not affected, so
TCG will also continue to work just fine.
