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.
