Dropped Platforms
-----------------

Support for Power7 based systems was removed in `v6.3-191-g16b7ae641037`.
Power7 hardware was supported largely because it was the initial bringup
platform for Skiboot. Once P8 hardware became available almost all
development (and testing) on P7 ceased. Anyone interested in using OPAL on
a P7 should look at one of the early `v5.x` releases.
