Small correction: cpuid property of qemu cpu should be "0" for the
linux kernel to boot on qemu. This is because kernel is reading cpu
registers to find out current smp processor ID and it happens to find
out "0" cpuid because corresponding register is zeroed by qemu.
Currently kernel fails since there is no "0" cpu node in tree.

Please apply the following patch: openbios-sparc64-cpuid.patch
