Yes, these machines uses ISA buses.
Okay, I have very hard time believing it, but I'm not an expert on Power
machines.
I believe that since it's also uses an UART
the bus itself isn't that much of a deal.
Well, it does matter, because with isa-serial you can configure an ISA
address for it:
<address type='isa' iobase='0x3f8' irq='0x4'/>
I also see that 'isa-serial' is mentioned by the ppc64 capability dump,
but in this case I'm not sure whether it's because it really supports an
ISA device or it's just that qemu exposes all platform-specific serial
ports as 'isa-serial'.
