If anybody does, they should provide and help us maintain
an hppa backend for tcg (and resources so we can CI it).
TCI is going to be so slow as to be useless -- you might
be able to tick a box saying "we built QEMU for this port"
but I find it hard to believe anybody would actually use
the result.
