These tests ensure that our emulation for these cpus is not completely broken and we can at least run OpenBIOS on them.

Note that the 7450s depend on an OpenBIOS change adding support for their PVR:

So we will have to merge the change in openbios first, and then update openbios in QEMU before merging this patch.
These tests are really useful to track regression and it would be nice to have a kernel to run because some CPU flavors behave differently under Linux. It is good start anyhow.
Thanks,
