Two changes... 1: set to Linux in general.  I think that perhaps linux-
lts-utopic is sufficient, HOWEVER we want to ensure that any fix for
this issue ends up in Wily and is fed back into Trusty via the utopic
hwe kernel.

2:  Set this to High.  It's a cert blocker and is gating the
certification of Power8 on bare metal.  We KNOW that KVM works, IBM runs
KVM in a CentOS image for PowerKVM, so we need to figure out why the
Ubuntu kernel isn't exposing virtualization support on this system.

** Package changed: linux-lts-utopic (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => High

** Tags added: blocks-hwcert-server

Title:
  IBM Power8 PowerNV does not expose kvm capabilities

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Power8  in PowerNV mode with Ubuntu installed does not expose kvm cpu
  capabilities:

  ubuntu@powereight:~$ lsmod |grep kvm
  ubuntu@powereight:~$ 

  ubuntu@powereight:~$ egrep -o "vmx|svm" /proc/cpuinfo
