Short update, with yesterday's API model 4.2.25 release, there's basic
support for s390 available in ovirt-engine. At this point in time, there
are no ovirt yum repositories for the s390x architecture - not sure what
the process would be to add s390x repositories and how to build the
binary RPMs at least for the host packages (i.e. vdsm-*). Maybe it would
possible to use the s390-koji infrastructure used to build Fedora for s390x?

neat ... there are some things to consider though:

The 3.10 kernel is too old to properly support current KVM/QEMU. Not
sure whether it's possible for you to package a more recent kernel
(>=4.4) for virtualization purposes.
Similarly, the ovirt packages versions in the repository are not yet
enabled for s390 and thus would require backports.
