I'm sorry, I was thinking about the qtwebengine restriction:
https://github.com/meta-qt5/meta-qt5/blob/master/recipes-qt/qt5/qtwebengine_git.bb#L44

which does apply to chromium* recipes as well:
https://github.com/OSSystems/meta-browser/blob/master/recipes-browser/chromium/chromium.inc#L4

and long time ago I had the same restriction in webkit-efl:
https://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded/commit/72a0b544bdb129eed2f310fb8a72614d1ee5f080#diff-076865441d3b071cd9c631d45ab24a31R54

>From here I was remembering that webkit didn't support armv5 anymore and
thought the same restriction did apply to all webkit based recipes.

I would be very happy to see qemuarmv7 in oe-core and to switch my bitbake
world builds from qemuarm to that, it would mean that < armv7a gets very
limited testing, but that's still better option than limited testing on
"shared" armv7a (which we all can easily reproduce on emulated qemuarmv7
unlike all armv7a real hardware we usually use, but almost everybody has
own boards, so we cannot share something which should just work out of the
box) .

Regards,
