 Your patch works for me.  I first tested booting NetBSD-current/sparc64 of
 source date 2020.10.07.19.53.32 under an unmodified pkgsrc qemu-5.1.0nb6,
 and it failed to boot.  I then applied the patch and rebuilt qemu, and
 it booted successfully.  Installation still fails due to PR 54810, but
 that's to be expected.
 
 Can you submit the patch to the QEMU project?
