As a starting point, have you tried booting any other OS with this change?
Yes but not very throughly. The Darwin images boot as far as before and Finnix has a different issue due to the change in cuda to via pmu where the IRQ is handled differently. I intend to fix that later by adding a USB driver to OpenBIOS and use that as the real hardware has USB instead of ADB anyway. This would also fix qemu-system-ppc64 with -M mac99. I already have a version here: http://www.openfirmware.info/pipermail/openbios/2014-May/008244.html but I'll need to fix it to work on big endian systems.
For my OpenBIOS tests I have a collection of various NetBSD, FreeBSD, Linux, Darwin and HelenOS that I use to check for regressions.
It would be appreciated if you could do some tests with these.
One of the things I learned very quickly with OpenBIOS is that the more images you use for testing, the more bugs that you find.
For example, here my FreeBSD/NetBSD images hang somewhere in PCI bus enumeration on -M mac99 which could be a similar bug to the one you are seeing on MorphOS (maybe interrupts?). But at least for the *BSDs you have the source code available so you can figure out what the code *should* be doing which helps narrow down the problem space considerably.
