FYI the dmesg(8) output from an excellent little AMD appliance I've been 
testing (below).

There are only two issues:

*) The AMD crypto accelerator isn't attaching (Advanced Micro Devices
    product 0x2082 (entertainment crypto) at pci0 dev 1
    function 2 not configured ...)

*) What's the story with AMD GEODE processors and Numeric Processing
    Extension coprocessor ? They're generally speaking "i586" chips,
    but this one appears to be mapping an npx(4) device at the ISA bus,
    but then fails to attach to it.  Perhaps it's just a dummy device?


    That brings MATH_EMULATE into question -- I presume this is software
    emulation of npx(4) when no npx(4) is present?

    I have to run a kernel with MATH_EMULATE enabled otherwise processes
    like mount_mfs(8) crash, but I dont want to leave it enabled if it's
    not a "fallback" option.

    That brings up interesting questions:

    - If MATH_EMULATE is present in a kernel with npx(4) enabled and probed
      on a booted system, which takes precidence?

    - Should this AMD GEODE be probing it's hardware npx(4) properly?
      Should I contact the hardware vendor?  Can I modify the npx(4) source
      code to continue gracefully even if the error reporting sanity check
      fails? npx.c at npxprobe1() ?
