This page outlines some issues that users may face when using Debian Bullseye for ppc64le and their workarounds. All of this also applies to Devuan Chimaera.

QEMU User Session on libvirt

There is an issue with libvirt where starting a QEMU virtual machine in User Session (not as root) will give the following error.

Unable to complete install: 'internal error: Process exited prior to exec: libvirt: error : cannot limit locked memory to 46137344: Operation not permitted'

For more information, check this bugzilla report

To work around this issue, one can manually patch libvirt by finding the offending code in the report, but an easier way is to update libvirt to the version in sid/ceres, or wait for the package to reach the backports repository. As of 9/25/2021, libvirt version 7.6.0 seems to work fine.
