For anyone wanting to try out this patchset, to build skiboot.lid,
grab https://github.com/open-power/skiboot.git and build.

You'll need ppc64 (big endian) cross compilers, available here:
https://www.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/
and with that in your path everything should "just work".

The travis-ci test script for skiboot itself does build a qemu with
these patches and boots skiboot, so see:
https://github.com/open-power/skiboot/blob/master/.travis.yml
for how that works.
