CVE-2019-8934 QEMU: ppc64: sPAPR emulator leaks the host hardware identity

  Hello,

It was found that the KVM PPC64 emulator for the sPAPR machine leaks the host hardware identity to all running guests. The sPAPAR(hw/ppc/spapr.c) emulator populates the device tree for the guest with two fields "host-serial" and "host-model". The values for these fields are taken via hypervisor from the host device tree data exposed in "/proc/device-tree/system-id" and "/proc/device-tree/model" file respectively.

Upstream patch:
