Bard, ports@,
I'd like to update qemu to 11.1.1 and backport a patch which allows me to
run OpenBSD/macppc in mac99 machine.
To boot from FAT volume it needs a few patches to OpenBIOS as well:

https://github.com/catap/openbios/commit/d8d459af79ae177dd167be3909ef6f0fab91a563.patch
https://github.com/catap/openbios/commit/ba2f9b93d4a157f6d29df606ec4abf6f605e7187.patch
which was sent to upstream and can be downloaded as prebuilt elf here:
https://github.com/catap/obsd.sh/raw/faed05a1364c0b0b96d97afa51846ac78ac4150f/openbios-ppc-obsd-ba2f9b9.elf
The machine and update was tested by building gcc for days, quite stable.
The patch includes tests to match everything that was send to upstream.
Ok?
OK, but that's it for further patches. If you want anything more wait
until at least the macppc patch set is in. The macppc patch set looks
like it will be easier to review.
