[Qemu-devel] [RFC v2 0/7] ppc/prep: add IBM RS/6000 43p machine

["Hervé Poussineau" <hpoussin@reactos.org>]

Hi,

This patchset (sent as RFC) adds an emulation of the IBM RS/6000 43p, also known as 7248.

Andreas did some preliminary patches for OpenBIOS to support PReP machines, available at
git://repo.or.cz/openbios/afaerber.git branch prep.
43p emulation has been tested with this firmware, and also with the official firmware,
named P93H1904.IMG.

Command line may look like
qemu-system-ppc -M 43p -readconfig ibm_43p.cfg
-device ide-hd,drive=hd0 -drive if=none,id=hd0,cache=writeback,file="hda.qcow2"

Changes RFC v1 -> RFC v2:
- rebased on master
- works with OpenBIOS
- rework on m48t59 patches
- remove rs6000 debug port emulation (not strictly required)
- checkpatch.pl doesn't complain anymore

Known bugs/missing parts:
- incomplete MPC105 (PCI host bridge) emulation (memory controller)
- no video card (should be a S3)
- QEMU can't change endianness at runtime

OpenBIOS status:
- detects CPU and memory, then freezes with a "Dictionary space overflow"

Official firmware status:
- can boot from a IDE hard disk containing a PReP boot partition
- can't boot from IDE cdroms (overlapping commands not supported by QEMU IDE emulation)
- can't boot from floppies (READ commands are issued, but it seems completion is ignored)
- can't boot from network (detects the netcard, but doesn't use it)
- needs a hack to m48t59 device to work (patch 7/7)

Please comment.

Regards,

Hervé
