There are some notes put up here, though we can do better:
https://github.com/linuxppc/wiki/wiki/Booting-with-Qemu

If you are familiar with ubuntu/fedora cloud images (and cloud-init), 
you should be able to grab one of the ppc64le images and boot it in 
qemu:
https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/hirsute/release/

Yes, I think I just found the issue. We aren't looking at the correct 
BPF instruction when checking the IMM value.
