Are you certain about emulation necessary for 16bit apps?
Note the "real mode" in the quote above.

It goes on to say: "compatibility mode is enabled by the
operating system on an individual code-segment basis.
From the application's viewpoint, compatibility mode
looks like a legacy x86 protected-mode environment."
Note the "protected-mode" in the quote above.
See? :)
Which means to me, that vm86()
You might have confused the v86 mode with 16-bit
protected mode. There is nothing about vm86() in
what you have quoted from the docs.
will have different semantics on x86-64,
probably setting up a 1MB v86 window but also turning on the
"compatibility mode" flag for that process.
That will not give you the v86 mode however.
