Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * on start of qemu-system-ppc64 MSR_SF is not set correctly
     So it doesn't start 64bit as it should

   * Todays guests usually work around this and are fine, but it is
     incorrect and might be an issue down the road. Furthermore this is also
     a fixup to some verification tests at the same time.

  [Test Case]

   * 1. deploy xenial + HWE kernel on a ppc64el box
     2. sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm -y
     3. git clone --depth=1 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm-unit-tests.git
     4. cd kvm-unit-tests
     5. ./configure --endian=little; make
     6. sudo ppc64_cpu --smt=off
     7. sudo ./run_tests.sh -v

  [Regression Potential]

   * The changes are ppc only and provided by IBM so the potential risk is
     retained to the owner of the Area.
     Further the change is very small, so it has a very low amount of being
     misunderstood.

  [Other Info]

   * n/a

  The failed "emulator" test from kvm-unit-test will pass with qemu-2.7.1 built from source.
