Yes, except for PREP.

There are recent patches to make PPC64 work that should be committed
in the coming days. That would be a nice addition but not critical.

We have also discussed about making also an OpenBIOS (1.0) release,
the previous release candidate (1.0RC1) is more than year old. It
would be great to release Qemu with 1.0 OpenBIOS.

Overall, there should be an update of the OpenBIOS images, otherwise
Sparc32 and I think PPC32 are ready. Sparc64 will not be without major
miracles in any case. PPC64 case may be interesting.
