[Kimchi-devel] [PATCH 0/2] Support ppc64 isos in Templates

[Rodrigo Trujillo]

Hi Chirsty and Cristian,

thank you for point this problem. I found previous thread and I think 
the concerns make sense.
I just have some points:
- The filter will not prevent user of running a x86 in a x86_64 machine, 
he still can select a 32 bits iso manually and create the template.
- We don't have 32 iso listed, so the feature will not impact at this 
time (of course, we can change this in future)

I am going to resend the patch =]

Rodrigo
