Okay, so I need to classify this bug report: "AIX 7.2 TL4 SP1 cannot IPL with QEMU >2.11.2 ppc64-softmmu". The possible categories are mistranslation, assembly, other, device, graphic, socket, network, KVM, boot, vnc, debug, files, permissions, performance, kernel, peripherals, hypervisor.
First, I'll break down the bug report. It's about AIX 7.2 TL4 SP1 not being able to IPL (Install/Loading Program) with QEMU versions greater than 2.11.2 on ppc64-softmmu architecture.
IPL typically refers to the process of booting an operating system from a hardware device, like a hard disk or tape. In this context, it's about booting AIX using QEMU. So the issue is related to the boot process within the emulator.
Looking at the categories:
- Boot seems directly relevant because IPL is part of the booting process.
- Other possibilities: KVM (which is another hypervisor) but since QEMU can be a hypervisor itself, maybe that's possible too. But "hypervisor" is more about the management of virtual machines rather than the boot issue.
I think "boot" fits best because the problem occurs during the IPL phase, which is about starting up the OS with QEMU. It doesn't seem to involve any device-specific issues or network problems; it's purely about the inability to start the OS correctly.

The bug report involves an issue with booting AIX using QEMU, specifically related to the IPL process failing in versions greater than 2.11.2 for ppc64-softmmu. The key term here is "boot," as it pertains to the failure during the installation or loading phase of the operating system.
**Answer:**
boot
