Description of problem:
An attempt to create a VM via REST API with 'other_ppc64' OS fails on bad request.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhvm-4.2.6.3-0.1.el7ev.noarch
vdsm-4.20.37-1.el7ev.ppc64le


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
On a PPC env:
1. REST API: Create a VM from a template with 'other_ppc64' OS:

        <os>
            <boot>
                <devices>
                    <device>hd</device>
                </devices>
            </boot>
            <type>other_ppc64</type>
        </os>


Actual results:


2018-08-16 22:08:55,795+03 WARN  [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.AddVmFromTemplateCommand] (default task-14) [] Validation of action 'AddVmFromTemplate' failed for user admin@internal-authz. Reasons: VAR__ACTION__ADD,VAR__TYPE__VM,ACTION_TYPE_FAILED_ILLEGAL_OS_TYPE_IS_NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_ARCHITECTURE_TYPE


Expected results:
Create VM with other_ppc64 should succeed

Comment 1 Michal Skrivanek 2018-08-19 12:34:37 UTC 
Which template?
A regression from what version? When it was executed sucessfully for the last time?
Comment 2 Elad 2018-08-19 12:37:21 UTC 
The VM is indeed being created from a template that has 'other os'.
This failed all the regression test cases which involve VM creation from a template on PPC.
Comment 3 Michal Skrivanek 2018-08-19 12:40:05 UTC 
This is marked as a regression, when did this ever pass?
“Other” is not a usable type on ppc64le and never was.
Comment 4 Elad 2018-08-19 19:51:50 UTC 
This used to pass up until the last PPC9 execution. This flow is very basic in our automated tests, it's part of the setup for most of storage related test cases.

The VM is being created from a template (not blank).
From the attached logs (art_test_runner.log):

Comment 5 Michal Skrivanek 2018-08-20 06:57:22 UTC 
YEs the template d7f92619-12be-46b1-88f5-7d378c42aa14 is of correct type other_ppc64. However the VM clone request specififes
    <os>
        <type>rhel_6x64</type>
    </os>

which is not a ppc64le OS type
