Very nice.

I'm clear on that but what I've meant was that we probably have to make a 
closer emulation of the real PowerMac (not one to one but close enough) to 
make OSes written for that hardware happy. I think we are missing some i2c 
and gpio emulation that these OSes might expect but I'm not sure.

One thing that might help to hint at what's missing is to compile QEMU 
with DEBUG_UNASSIGNED (this will generate a lot of logs) and try to find 
out what is accessed that is not emulated.
