No output... fc23 has qemu-2.4.1, so this commit is missing:
ad440b4 spapr: add dumpdtb support

So I've recompiled master (PPC970MP is not as fast as POWER8...), and:

        memory@0000000010000000 {
                ibm,associativity = <0x4 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0>;
                reg = <0x0 0x10000000 0x0 0x10000000>;
                device_type = "memory";
        };

        memory@0000000008000000 {
                ibm,associativity = <0x4 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0>;
                reg = <0x0 0x8000000 0x0 0x8000000>;
                device_type = "memory";
        };

        memory@0000000000000000 {
                ibm,associativity = <0x4 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0>;
                reg = <0x0 0x0 0x0 0x8000000>;
                device_type = "memory";
        };

But master doesn't have the "assert()", it hangs, and in kernel logs:

[  438.503410] kvmppc_handle_exit_pr: emulation at 700 failed (00000000)
[  438.503412] Couldn't emulate instruction 0x00000000 (op 0 xop 0)
