Yes, we need more patches:

- for qemu, an nvram cleanup I already sent some month ago, and a little PCI cleanup patch.
- for openbios, at leat one patch to remap ROM in RAM.

I'm working hard to make them available, but currently, openbios is able to load Yaboot and Yaboot is able to load linux, but linux crashes when it is building its flattened device tree.

Regards,
Laurent
