   <ul>    <ul>
         <li>Began initial development of an OpenBSD/powerpc64 port.          <li><span style="color:red;">XXX add a text about current status</span>
         <li>Added <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/opal">opal(4)</a>, a driver that interacts with the OPAL firmware on powerpc64 and implements RTC functionality.  
         <li>Added support for the XIVE interrupt controller found on POWER9 CPUs.  
         <li>Increased the buffer size for OFW parameter name strings, making it possible to dump the full device tree on POWER9 systems using eeprom -p.  
         <li>Added powerpc64 FDT interrupt support.  
         <li>Introduced an initial bootloader for OpenBSD/powerpc64.  
         <li>Added installboot powerpc64 support.  
         <li>Added initial powerpc64 X sets.  
         <li>Passed boothowto and bootduid parameters to the booted powerpc64 kernel via the device tree.  
         <li>Improved the powerpc64 kernel linker script and installed proper page protections via pmap_bootstrap().  
         <li>Enabled <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/xhci">xhci(4)</a> in the powerpc64 BOOT kernel.  
         <li>Introduced powerpc64 GENERIC.MP and bsd.mp.  
         <li>Implemented IPIs on powerpc64.  
         <li>Increased the powerpc64 MAXCPUS to 48, the maximum cores available in any POWER9 system.  
         <li>Added additional scsi devices on powerpc64.  
         <li>Added powerpc64 cd9660, msdos and inet6 ramdisk support.  
         <li>Built installXX.{img,iso} powerpc64 files.  
         <li>Introduced <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/xicp">xicp(4)</a>, a driver for the interrupt control presenter hardware found on POWER8 CPUs.  
         <li>Added powerpc support for POWER8 CPUs.  
         <li>Added support for IODA2 bridges such as those found on POWER8 chips.  
         <li>Added powerpc64 support for "normal" external interrupts, needed for running POWER8 and earlier CPUs.  
         <li>Added support for the IBM POWER8 host bridge.  
         <li>Improved detection of the proper powerpc64 boot device by choosing the disk matching the bootduid of the boot kernel.  
         <li>Added <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/mpii">mpii(4)</a> to powerpc64.  
         <li>Used an IPI on powerpc64 so hw.setperf affects all cores in the mp kernel.
