Attached. My qemu command line is

qemu-system-ppc64 -M mac99 -cpu ppc64 \
     -m 1G -kernel vmlinux -snapshot -device e1000,netdev=net0 \
     -netdev user,id=net0 -device sdhci-pci -device sd-card,drive=d0 \
     -drive file=/var/cache/buildbot/ppc64/rootfs.ext2,format=raw,if=none,id=d0 \
     -nographic -vga none -monitor null -no-reboot \
     --append "root=/dev/mmcblk0 rootwait console=tty console=ttyS0"

Qemu version is 7.0. The root file system is from
https://github.com/groeck/linux-build-test/tree/master/rootfs/ppc64

I used to have self tests enabled, but with that (specifically, with
CONFIG_STRING_SELFTEST=y) I now get a different hang, so I disabled that
for the time being.
