Oh, I didn't realize you are trying to reproduce it with qemu. My
initial intent was confirming that it's really a NetBSD fault, not
qemu. Because the PReP Emulation in qemu is incomplete (though since
Hervé is working on it, it gets better). So I tried to use NetBSD as a
test case for qemu, but probably it also gets the other way around.

Anyways, steps to reproduce the problem with qemu:
1. Building qemu:
  a. Download Hervé's current branch:
http://repo.or.cz/qemu/hpoussin.git/tree/refs/heads/40p (it should
work with the current master too, but Hervé's branch has a few
improvements in S3 emulation and is currently better tested)
  b. actual build:
$ cd qemu
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ ../configure --target-list=ppc-softmmu --disable-guest-agent
--disable-tools --disable-glusterfs --disable-libusb
--disable-libiscsi --disable-spice --disable-vhost-net --disable-docs
(you can as well omit all the --disable stuff, I use it to speed the
build process up)
$ make

2. Obtain the IBM 40p Firmware:
 wget -c ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/rs6000/firmware/7020-40p/P12H0456.IMG

3. Run the test:

$  ppc-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc -M 40p -bios /path/to/P12H0456.IMG
-nographic -serial telnet::4441,server -monitor stdio -fda
/path/to/NetBSD-4.0-sysinst_small_com0.fs

in another shell

$  telnet localhost 4441
<wait ~2 minutes till it starts booting NetBSD. If you have an
X-Server you can omit the -nographic option and see the IBM boot
animation>

    Completely rework how we look up PCI interrupts on prep:
