Nope, R3k DECstations used to use the FPU emulator unconditionally. :-(
This would have never got triggered. An FPU interrupt-to-exception glue
was non-existent.

No need to do anything -- I happened to work on the FPU a bit recently
and I sent a patch here on Friday that adds the glue, enables the FPU and
rips the broken code off. Ralf has already applied the patch.
I would *really* appreciate any feedback on DECstation patches I'm
sending here -- for quite some time I have a feeling I'm the last one to
run Linux on a DECstation... :-(
