I don't know the powernv board very well, but maybe Cédric could answer
that question.

For reference, I assume you're talking about this crash here:

qemu-system-ppc64 -M powernv -device isa-fdc
qemu-system-ppc64: hw/block/fdc.c:2703: isabus_fdc_realize: Assertion
`fdctrl->dma' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

?

IIRC Eduardo also posted a patch for that one already, not sure about
the current status, though.
