PPC Support and how far is it from being included in a stable Qemu
release,I notice Power PC Support still says Testing on the status

M68k with non-colfire targets is pretty much non-existing. At least
when it comes to system emulation (which is the one you're
interested in).
As for PPC, the CPU and device emulation code should work fine for
OSX up to 10.2 or 10.3. Then Apple dropped support for the G3 Beige.
The major bit missing to get those to work is OpenBIOS. It's
missing some Forth extension that the OSX bootloader uses, so it
fails to load the kernel and boot.

What exactly is missing in OpenBIOS. I am currently studying the IEEE
1275 document (OpenBIOS specifications). I would like to add this
system if I can.
