But I still wonder how kvm-unit-tests worked at all before the 64-bit
mode has been fixed in QEMU ... I mean kvm-unit-tests is compiled with
64-bit code, but it's still working when run in 32-bit? Something really
strange was going on here...

On Power processors, there's not as much difference between 32-bit and
64-bit mode as you might expect.  In 32-bit mode on a 64-bit
processor, you can use all 64 bits of the registers and execute 64-bit
instructions.  The only things that change in 32-bit mode are that (a)
effective addresses are truncated to 32 bits and (b) dot-form
instructions (e.g. "add.") set CR0 based on the 32-bit result rather
than the 64-bit result.

Ah, ok, ... and since kvm-unit-tests normally does not use the RAM > 4
GB, we didn't notice the truncation. Makes sense.
Thanks for the clarification!
