Bryan, Denys, does anyone of you rely on CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION?
The manual for Quark claims that the CPU has no FPU and yet the current
kernel (or the yocto v3.14) does not select this option.
Denys added support for some opcodes in 2015 but I didn't figure out
*why* or which CPU in particular requires this.

Okay.
