  ---uname output---
  Linux ubuntu 3.18.0-8-generic #9-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 5 22:52:15 UTC 2015 ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux
   
  Machine Type = P8 
    
  ---Steps to Reproduce---
  Install a Power VM LPAR with Ubuntu 15.04 ISO.
  Then execute the below test scenarios on the same.

  Error detecting machine type
  root@ubuntu:~# which auditctl
  /sbin/auditctl

  root@ubuntu:~# dpkg -S /sbin/auditctl
  auditd: /sbin/auditctl

  root@ubuntu:~# dpkg --list | grep auditd
  ii  auditd                                    1:2.3.7-1ubuntu1                      ppc64el      User space tools for security auditing

  root@ubuntu:~# dpkg --list | grep libaudit

  I found a discussion of the need for ppc64le support in audit in the
  archives for the linux-audit ml

  https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-
  audit/2014-December/msg00003.html

  The full changeset for the ppc64le support is in trunk upstream:
