I think you should use buildroot images from the qemu_ppc64_e5500 defconfig:

  https://github.com/buildroot/buildroot/tree/master/board/qemu/ppc64-e5500

The question is where to store them. I did under my GH account for PPC and
Aspeed but it is not satisfactory in the long term.

May be could have a common repo for all the buildroot QEMU boards images ?
and rebuild once a year ?

Thanks,

C.
