The CPU itself is simple to support. The problem is periphery:

  * No DSSI support at this time (usually you could use NFS-root, but...)
  * The SGEC ethernet driver probably won't work out of the box.

However, ISTR that the DELQA family of qbus adaptors should work,
right? If you've got one of that, it may be possible to boot the box
into userland using that one.
