I still have a zoo of machines running for such testing, including a
715/64 and two 730.
I'm going to test this git tree on the 715/64:

This tree boots nicely (up to a command prompt with i82596 nic working):

Christoph, you may add a

The 715/64 is a 7100LC machine though.  I think you need to boot on
the 730 to test the non-coherent path.
