This patch updates the sun4u model to being much closer to a real Ultra 5 by moving devices behind the 2 simba PCI bridges (A and B) as found on real hardware. The most noticeable change introduced by this patchset is that in-built devices are no longer attached to the PCI root bus, but instead behind PCI bridge A. Along with this the interrupt routing is updated accordingly to match the official documentation. Since the existing code currently bypasses the PCI bridge interrupt swizzling, the interrupt mapping functions are reorganised so that pci_pbm_map_irq() is used by the PCI bridges and pci_apb_map_irq() is used by the PCI host bridge. Behind the sabre PCI host bridge, the PCI IO space now needs to be split into two separate halves at 0x8000000. Therefore we also setup a new PCI IO space region of increased size on the PCI host bridge and enable 32-bit PCI IO accesses to allow IO accesses to reach devices behind PCI bridge B correctly. As part of this change we also combine the onboard sunhme NIC and the ebus into a single multi-function device as done on a real Ultra 5. For other NICs the existing behaviour is preserved, i.e. we initialise them and place them into the next free slot on PCI bus B. Finally we mark the physically unavailable slots (plus slot 0 in busA) as reserved to ensure that users can't plug devices into non-existent slots which will break interrupt routing. Note: since this commit changes PCI topology and interrupt routing, an updated openbios-sparc64 binary is included with this commit containing the associated changes to maintain bisectability.

QEMU README
===========
QEMU is a generic and open source machine & userspace emulator and
virtualizer.
QEMU is capable of emulating a complete machine in software without any
need for hardware virtualization support. By using dynamic translation,
it achieves very good performance. QEMU can also integrate with the Xen
and KVM hypervisors to provide emulated hardware while allowing the
hypervisor to manage the CPU. With hypervisor support, QEMU can achieve
near native performance for CPUs. When QEMU emulates CPUs directly it is
capable of running operating systems made for one machine (e.g. an ARMv7
board) on a different machine (e.g. an x86_64 PC board).
QEMU is also capable of providing userspace API virtualization for Linux
and BSD kernel interfaces. This allows binaries compiled against one
architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux PPC64 ABI) to be run on a host using a
different architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux x86_64 ABI). This does not
involve any hardware emulation, simply CPU and syscall emulation.
QEMU aims to fit into a variety of use cases. It can be invoked directly
by users wishing to have full control over its behaviour and settings.
It also aims to facilitate integration into higher level management
layers, by providing a stable command line interface and monitor API.
It is commonly invoked indirectly via the libvirt library when using
open source applications such as oVirt, OpenStack and virt-manager.
QEMU as a whole is released under the GNU General Public License,
version 2. For full licensing details, consult the LICENSE file.
Building
========
QEMU is multi-platform software intended to be buildable on all modern
Linux platforms, OS-X, Win32 (via the Mingw64 toolchain) and a variety
of other UNIX targets. The simple steps to build QEMU are:
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make
Additional information can also be found online via the QEMU website:

Submitting patches
==================
The QEMU source code is maintained under the GIT version control system.
git clone git://git.qemu-project.org/qemu.git
When submitting patches, the preferred approach is to use 'git
format-patch' and/or 'git send-email' to format & send the mail to the
qemu-devel@nongnu.org mailing list. All patches submitted must contain
a 'Signed-off-by' line from the author. Patches should follow the
guidelines set out in the HACKING and CODING_STYLE files.
Additional information on submitting patches can be found online via
the QEMU website
http://qemu-project.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch
http://qemu-project.org/Contribute/TrivialPatches
Bug reporting
=============
The QEMU project uses Launchpad as its primary upstream bug tracker. Bugs
found when running code built from QEMU git or upstream released sources
should be reported via:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/
If using QEMU via an operating system vendor pre-built binary package, it
is preferable to report bugs to the vendor's own bug tracker first. If
the bug is also known to affect latest upstream code, it can also be
reported via launchpad.
For additional information on bug reporting consult:
http://qemu-project.org/Contribute/ReportABug
Contact
=======
The QEMU community can be contacted in a number of ways, with the two
main methods being email and IRC
- qemu-devel@nongnu.org
http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
