Ok have to wait for Neil on this one as I don't know if the third party he was
referring to wants to be name. As yet I don't know how much development has
actually been done and how much is just thoughts on how to do it.
Such a solution if it is developed would be supported by RiscBSD since Neil
would be doing the software support for it.

There are other such hardware solutions...

I am playing with a podule with a pair of FPU's on it. This is an experimental
podule I designed to test a few ideas and to test how easy we could support
multiple FPU's under RiscBSD.
Next would be a 5 FPU one so each of my hydra processors had an FPU.

Cheers,
