   This never worked on amd64, so it didn't get worse. There is
   more cleanup needed.
   What we need imho is a hook to install the callgate/traphandler/
   whatever dynamically on emulation LKM load time. (Of course
   considering the case that multiple emulations share one syscall
   entry...) That's something for after the 2.0 branch however.
   For 2.0, it might make sense to have a COMPAT_NETBSD32 LKM
   working; the other ones are questionable anyway.


hmm; these emulations have always worked for sparc64...
