The PowerNV machine can be run with an external IPMI BMC device
connected to a remote QEMU machine acting as BMC, using these options :
-chardev socket,id=ipmi0,host=localhost,port=9002,reconnect=10 \
-device ipmi-bmc-extern,id=bmc0,chardev=ipmi0 \
-device isa-ipmi-bt,bmc=bmc0,irq=10 \
-nodefaults
In that case, some aspects of the BMC initialization should be
skipped, since they rely on the simulator interface.
