To keep you people up to date on this - I've got free shopping for
the kernel FPU support software, that's is there are four solutions
available:

 - two different ones from IRIX which I'm allowed to recycle for Linux
 - the Algorithmics code which already has been integrated into Linux
   by MIPS.
 - Write something new that is based on include/math-emu/.

It used to be a relativly hard thing but it's no longer :-)
