hi! I'd like to assemble a 2026 TODO list for PPC64 work. Justin, Ivy, Warner, I and and others have been poking at the sharp edges and trying to use/abuse various PPC64 hardware and VMs. I'd appreciate some brainstorming from y'all about what you'd like to see fixed, implemented and working. On my plate so far: * I've acquired a 2-CPU apple G5 to fix the long-standing SMP behaviour with (which someone else has triaged, so I need to work with justin to verify that and figure out an implementation) * fixing up qemu ppc64 big/little endian KVM and emulated CPU pseries VM support - both boot fine in -HEAD, I'm going to MFC the fixes to stable/15 * Timothy at Raptor Engineering has some desire / work planned out to sort out more POWER9 native booting support (IOMMU features I think?) * I'd like to work towards getting ppc64 be/le packages built again and some hardware back in the cluster for developers So I'd like some brainstorming/braindumping/ideas here if you've got them, even on older PPC64 hardware if you have it. I'd like to collate these into the wiki and figure out what we think is achievable in 2026. Thanks! -adrianhome | help
