kvm86 kernel option
Does anyone use (or have used in the last n years) the i386
kernel VM86, KVM86 or KVM86DEBUG options that (I think) allows
16bit user programs to run within a 32bit kernel?
My suspicions are that, if it ever worked, it will have bitrotted
out of existance!
Deleting it seems to be a good idea.
Possibly wine uses it for 16bit windows code?
In any case anything written in 16bit code can probably be emulated
fast enough to be useful.
