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.
