right now OEs defaults for qemuarm is to emulate armv5te based board,
so building chromium for that is not going to work. But
I think there is effort to switch it to use armv7 which might be more
interesting for your case. For best results you can use
meta-raspberrypi layer and use rpi2 or rpi3 machine config to build
it.
