Is this check correct? Doesn’t e500mc adhere to 2.06 as well? Running

  qemu-system-ppc64 -M ppce500 -cpu e500mc …

is perfectly valid and should just work. With your patch, it would
start in invalid 64bit mode :).

Mhh, sorry I don't really have any understanding of the PPC state after reset. Should have flagged this as RFC.

Maybe I should explain my issue. I'm debugging a problem with the 64 bit linux-user variant (qemu-ppc64). There the first instructions causes an "Invalid data memory access" because the address is truncated to 32 bit. This is because the msr_is_64bit() returns false in my case. So first question here, is qemu-ppc64 supposed to set the MSR to 64bit mode? I guess so, because 32bit mode would be the qemu-ppc binary. What is the MSR state in full system emulation for a e5500 core? 64bit or 32bit?

It depends on the target. Usually the reset vector is used for system emulation. But apparently you're targeting user mode emulation, so the reset MSR really goes to linux-user/main.c. We already set MSR_SF there for 64bit binaries, I guess you'd have to check on the cpu flavor and just set either SF or CM depending on cpu flags (PPC2_BOOKE206 maybe?) in there.

If it is 32bit, the simple solution would be to put #ifdef CONFIG_USER_ONLY around my patch, right? If the MMU is in 64bit mode after reset, I would have to check for the e5500, too. Mhh, I don't see that this information is available in ppc_cpu_reset().
