So have a different bugfix area on a per-platform basis. Whatever.
'sides some bugs only activate when specific processor features are
enabled and THOSE bugs should be per-processor.
Also, bugfixes should only be present as 'optional' if they're
intrusive... as in, they are ONLY usable and detectable on that CPU.
FWIW I consider 'math emulation' a CPU bug :)
If we EVER have cross-platform CPU bugs there's something seriously wrong.
Have a nice week :)
