Um.. I'm confused.  This is a pHyp (aka PowerVM) machine, so there is
no SLOF.  What I'm seeing there seems to contradict the PAPR spec
which is supposed to describe it.  So I don't see how it has a bearing
on SLOF addressing.

I meant "if we want to make QEMU present devices like pHyp, we cannot do that without fixing SLOF".

(2) sounds like what PAPR describes to me, so that sounds fine to me.

No, PAPR describes one target per *host*, not channel.
