I don't know. But I realize I've integrated your patch partially.  
Could you correct this ?
There is the missing NVRAM part in the ldscript (and more...), and  
arch/ppc/qemu/start.S doesn't include the modification you made about  
the SRI vector.

Feel free to correct all of this as you want.

Regards,
Laurent
