Make a new emu hierarchy and move FPU emulation to there, too:

src/sys/arch/i386/emul/86real -> emul_86real
src/sys/arch/i386/emul/i87 -> emul_86fpu (or emul_i87 or something)

Note that I've put it under 'arch/i386' since I presume it can't be used
on anything else than i386 and perhaps amd64. Since I believe more
extensive emulation (I'd love to use compat_pecoff(8) and compat_messdos
with emu_86 as a replacement for crap like wine and DOSbox, repectively)
is best integrated in the kernel as well, this new hierarchy should last.

Baai,

From the fool file:
I don't see why the way people have historically partitioned disks should
dictate which kernels we build and distribute by default in the future.
