Are you sure about sam4x0ey being CHRP compliant? These seem to be built 
around an AMCC embedded PPC SoC with some additional hardware and do not 
look like something resembling a PC. They also have UBoot instead of 
OpenFirmware. (I'm working on emulating the Sam460EX but it's not ready 
yet.)

The Efika may be a CHRP machine, at least that has an OpenFirmware 
implementation and mentions CHRP compatibility with regard to that but I'm 
not sure if that's meant for the firmware only or the hardware is also 
compliant (this is also built on a different SoC).
