IBM Introduces the Commodity Power Server

AFAIK, that's part of the whole architecture. Kind of hard to change course since these features existed within PPC well before OpenPOWER existed.
Can't seem to find the Redbook on it from IBM though, although keep in mind Rackspace is selling OpenPOWER stuff. I doubt they are buying hundreds of these things and letting the customer at it.

Good point. I don't particularly doubt that it is there, just don't want to count unhatched chickens, you know? HP used to sell Proliants with the built in virtualization disabled via BIOS. Not that IBM would pull that, but without knowing that the feature is there for sure, it's something to look into.
