On the POWER9 topic, it might even be possible to skip QEMU and go
straight to hardware.  My current understanding is that the FSI drivers
in OpenBMC allow single stepping of the CPU and dumping of registers,
without any other hardware being required to access those features.
There's also a built-in firmware-from-RAM loader on the BMC side, so
iterating changes should be fairly easy.

Raptor would be also willing to donate a number of POWER9 development
kits in support of a coreboot port, if there's interest.
