I had a sarcastic sentence in the commit message which I deleted later:

"Apparently no one had tried the kernel on a 486er after the FPU
rewrite. Backwards compatibility is overrated."

:-)

I'm still wondering, though, why didn't the Quark people scream
earlier... And who knows, it was probably b0rked even before the
FPU rewrite.
