We have to be serious about implementing 64bit FP insn emulation.
It should be a full scale implementation even for cores equipped with
no FP hardware.  Note that no FP hardware is an extreme case of
FP insn emulation and as long as emulation is smart enough
there is no necessity to sprinkle SOFTFLOAT/NOFPU.

I once toyed an idea to approach Algorithmics but the company is...
