Mostly for developer use. This will not be installed by default. - opal-firmware : Contains skiboot.lid ..which can be used with qemu This will not be installed by default. > As it's not in the upstream distro (yet), even if it's built, it will It's available in upstream skiboot repo [1], but not available in RHEL 7.2.
