sys/arch/arm/fpe-arm/armfpe.S is the ARM Floating-Point Emulator.  It's not
used by normal NetBSD/arm systems (we do floating-point in userland), but I
think it's needed to run Linux executables.

sys/arch/vax/stand/pcs/pcs750.bin.uue is a file for initialising the
patchable control store on the VAX 11/750.  As I understand it, this
corrects bugs in the CPU microcode.
