Yes, we need more patches:

- for qemu, an nvram cleanup I already sent some month ago, and a little PC=
I 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.
