Does QEMU PReP really emulate OpenFirmware correctly? There must be an
OFW-tree entry with a name or device_type of "interrupt-controller".
NetBSD/ofppc works with the Pegasos 2, which is an OpenFirmware machine
with i8259 PIC. So theoretically it should work.

OFW PIC detection is in src/sys/arch/powerpc/pci/pci_machdep_ofw.c
genofw_find_ofpics().
