Sort of related..

We already have FPU emulation in kernel, and there
exists a project to emulate MMX/3dnow!/EMMX instructions
at http://www-sop.inria.fr/prisme/personnel/pion/progs/mmx-emu/
Would there be any benefit if such a project were integrated
into the kernel? Other than allowing 386's to run MMX apps
without needing a recompile. :-)

regards,

Dave.
