What is the status of POWER8 and POWER7 in FreeBSD now, are they ready for production use?

[Nathan Whitehorn]

They are ready for production use if you are running under PowerKVM. We 
have specifically tested on the Tyan system. I don't know specifically 
about that Power7 system, but I have run on other POWER7 without 
problems and would expect the same here.

PowerVM should also work if you use VIOS for storage, but has received 
much less tasting.
