I want to run it in a virtual machine under VM/ESA 2.2, but support for the IEEE floating point hardware by CP wasn't available before 2.3 with PTFs. If BFP didn't use HFP registers, it would probably be okay, but CP needs to ensure Linux gets his BFP registers back after being interrupted. Or I can tell Linux there's no BFP hardware and then he'll do the emulation instead. Does that make sense? -- May the LORD God bless you exceedingly abundantly!
