I got in contact with mdeslaur and he confirmed there is no bug yet for spectre/meltdown on qemu for ppc64.

I'd ask you to:
1. file a new bug for that as this one here is about the -sxxm machine types
2. please list the functional changes there that add the cap-xxx options
   But not the new machine types (IMHO)

That bug would then be handled by the security Team and eventually become part of [1] I think.
