Union: read files from the one original, but write to the other original
(e.g., make CD-ROMs read-write)

Loopback: make a directory tree visible at another place.

Exactly. And, as the compiler doesn't do real 68040 scheduling anyway (yet)
(to my knowledge, jtc?), and we don't produce floating point
instructions for the kernel, both of your transformation won't do
anything good at the moment.

Errr... look into errr... sys/arch/amiga/amiga/param.[hc] or was it
m68k/m68k? Anyway, you should set them not there, but as options, or, if
corresponding to patchable (initialized) variables, using binpatch on
the resulting kernel.
