In QEMU we implement a PV machine type called "ppce500". That board is able to run any e500+ FSL cores (e500v2, e500mc, e5500, e6500).
It is heavily inspired by the MPC8544DS SoC and board combination, but implements only the bare minimum to make Linux happy enough to drive a virtual machine.
This patch set implements support for this PV machine type in U-Boot, enabling users to run their virtual machines with netboot, u-boot payload binaries or other fun things they come up with.
