Hi Blue, thanks for your comments.

I have tested the device using KVM. Since PCI support is a
self-contained patch that could be very useful to other qemu users, I
posted it first.

The problem is that none of the 405 boards emulated by qemu are
functional enough for me to run a kernel, so I can't test those.
However, Jean-Christophe Plagniol-Villard is planning to test this
(though I'm not sure how).

If you'd prefer, I can post this patch only after the PowerPC KVM
support has been merged.

Sure.

OK, I'll give that a try.

I didn't know about that one. Looks easy enough.

I will send an updated patch once I've made these changes.
