I guess we can put the old support back if we really have to, but i'd like to avoid it. The old 'drop to x86 mode' support always worried me a bit.


Using vm86 mode might be a way out of the misery. XFree86/Xorg does this on
x86 machines. I've looked into how they did it, and it looks rather
simple, except they're using a system call to switch to vm86 mode.

I looked at that years ago as well. I would rather we just get Nicks' problem solved via emulation.
