That sounds great, but I believe thorpej@ has already done most of the
work already to implement these natively:

This means the emulation part is (or will be) just a thin shin rather
than emulation.
I'm not sure of its current state, but it wouldn't surprise me if Jason
would be happy for some help, especially with the ATF testing - perhaps
also with a view to how the Linux emulation may be tested.
