This set of patches is to enable PowerPC embedded KVM capablities to be taken advantage of by qemu.

The code currently boots a ungziped uImage of the Linux kernel complied for PowerPC 440 AMCC Bamboo evalution board.  We have not fully tested userspace, but fixes will follow as we do. We are also missing networking support, though this will come shortly. Also our current bamboo board model is h
ardcoded to have 144MB or RAM (which will get changed shortly also).

What you need:
        - A PowerPC 440 based SOC (System-on-Chip)
             (we have been testing with a AMCC bamboo & AMCC sequoia boards)
        - PowerPC KVM Patches (these have been sent by Hollis Blanchard to the list)
        - KVM Kernel source with PowerPC KVM Patches applied
        - cross tools with powerpc 440 compiler (this is assuming your not using a power machine)
        - version of zlib-1.2.3 or higher compiled for powerpc

Then you compile with userspace. Here is an example of what I use to configure kvm-userspace:

./configure --arch=powerpc --cross-prefix=powerpc-440-linux-gnu- --with-patched-kernel --kerneldir=/home/jerone/work/kvmppc.hg/ --disable-sdl --disable-vnc-tls --disable-gfx-check --disable-gcc-check --qemu-cflags="-I/home/jerone/work/zlib-1.2.3 -I/home/jerone/work/kvmppc.hg/include/" --qemu-ldflags="-L/home/jerone/work/zlib-1.2.3/" 

Then you run "make". After which you will have an excutable:
kvm-userspace/qemu/ppcemb-softmmu/qemu-system-ppcemb

To run, boot your compiled KVM PPC enabled kernel and also compile your special none gzipped cuImag
e of Linux for the Bamboo board. Then run:

./qemu-system-ppcemb -nographic -M bamboo -kernel cuImage.bambo
