FreeBSD on IBM POWER

FreeBSD/powerpc64 in principle supports a number of newer IBM CPUs
(POWER4-7), but we do not currently run of them due to a lack of
hardware drivers. The lack of drivers is in turn due to a lack of
development hardware. Does anyone have any IBM machines with a 970,
Cell, POWER4, POWER5, POWER6, or POWER7 CPU, ideally with PowerVM, that
they would be willing to loan or donate for this port? Remote access to
an LPAR and netboot server would also serve the purpose.
