Sounds good to me. It could share amd64's fpu.c. The only isuse I can think
of is that fpu.c assumes presence of the fxsave/fxrstor instructions (SSE).

The cpu attachment covers it. As the exception handling suggests the FPU has
not been seperate since the 486 - the 487 was IIRC actually just a 486DX.
