In arch/i386/config.in, your patch redefines the default processor type
from Pentium to 386 -- this looks gratuitous.
I'm more concerned about the use of CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION_MODULE in
arch/i386/kernel/traps.c. I think that math_emulate_hook is fine.
But I think that it's bad to make the resident kernel be different
depending on whether or not a particular module is compiled. So I
recommend taking out these tests and compiling in math_emulate_hook
and the new code in math_emulate unconditionally.
Unfortunately there's a lot more of this stuff in your patch ...
I really hate it when the resident kernel changes depending on whether
something is a module or not included. Maybe that's just me though.
