CHRP (Common Hardware Reference Platform) was a standard developed by
IBM & Apple for PowerPC-based systems.

The standard was used in the development of some machines but never
gained wide spread adoption.

The Linux CHRP code only supports a handful of machines, all 32-bit, eg.
IBM B50, bplan/Genesi Pegasos/Pegasos2, Total Impact briQ, and possibly
some from Motorola? No Apple machines should be affected.

All of those mentioned above are over or nearing 20 years old, and seem
to have no active users.
Pegasos2 users still exist, but admittedly they mainly use MorphOS and
AmigaOS4 on these machines.
