I ever tried p5040ds but failed with 64-bit, but looks are you saying
this patch
set can make e5500/e6500 work well with 64-bit? If so, will we need to
upgrade
qemu or something else like dtb?

KVM should work on p5040ds with and without this patchset. The latest
qemu requires this patch: "powerpc: Add paravirt idle loop for 64-bit
Book-E",
you will not pass guest udev without it.

This is a kernel patch required by latest qemu.

Looks this commit is applied only into galak/powerpc.git, next, but still not merged into agraf/linux-2.6.git, so I'm confused which tree can support 64bit Book3E KVM as you point.
