I've also copied spapr_vof_reset and I don't see an error due to overlap, 
it seems to get past this as seen above. With the latest changes to load 
it to address 0 I see a bit different output:

$ .qemu-system-ppc -M pegasos2 -device ati-vga,romfile="" -cdrom morphos-3.15.iso -kernel boot.img -serial stdio -trace enable="vof*" -d unimp,guest_errors,int,in_asm

vof_avail 0xd8fd62..0x20000000 size=0x1f27029e

The size of the vof area changed for some reason that I don't understand 
but it starts to run anyway and I get some hypercalls:

Raise exception at 00000150 => 00000008 (01)
hypercall r3=000000000000f005 r4=000000000000fe7c r5=0000000000000001 r6=0000000000000be8 r7=0000000000000000 r8=000000000000fe78 r9=000000000000fe7c r10=0000000000000001 r11=0000000000000000 r12=0000000000000000 nip=00000150

vof_getprop ph=0x5 "qemu,boot-kernel" => len=-1 []

Then it panics here when I think it would jump to the guest code at this 
point if this was successful. I'm probably missing something that VOF 
expects which may cause problems. At the moment I don't have an initrd 
loaded and the stdout path set becuase I did not figure out how the latter 
works. Are those or anything else needed?

I don't get errors about memory allocation, why do you think that would be 
a problem and where to look for such errors? I'm using your vof.bin, 
haven't recompiled it and using gcc anyway so I don't think I have a 
compiler problem.

I've uploaded my current changes I'm testing with here:

https://osdn.net/projects/qmiga/scm/git/qemu/blobs/pegasos2/hw/ppc/pegasos2.c

and these are the changes

https://osdn.net/projects/qmiga/scm/git/qemu/commits/80c3187758dccffbf167974de98f472ec5c5d03a

in case you can have a look and may spot something obviously wrong. I'm 
running it as above with MorphOS for now as I know that only reads the 
device tree at start up and should not use any other OF services. I'll 
eventually test with Linux too but this seemed simpler for first try and 
should probably work with minimal CI functionality but I hope to find 
that out when it starts.
