What sort of 970 machine is it?

I'm guessing you want the pseries target machine, in which case you'll
need '-M pseries'.  You may also need to explicitly specify the
modelled CPU with '-cpu 970MP' or similar.  Although I think current
qemu defaults to '-cpu host' with kvm, which should accomplish the
same thing.
