At present, no: the PCI controller is currently unsupported due to
historical lack of access to hardware. Andreas Tobler is currently
working on a port to a similar machine, if you are willing to wait a
little while. It might also help if you were willing to provide remote
access to the HMC for a few weeks to a month.
