There is already one, albeit with a CPU that's surely not in the class of the CPUs proposed by you:

But then, you probably already know that one at least since your thread at the Haiku forum.
Yes, I saw that one, interesting, but it's not what I was thinking about.

Exactly, though only true for e500v2 (and before), which the P1 (and P2) series has. e500mc of P4 series (and coming P3 and P5 series) has a "desktop compatible" FPU implementation.
Yes, unfortunately it applies to our case, the P4 is way too expensive and I couldn't seriously suggest it as an alternative right now. (I know we are saying the same thing, there is no argument here). I just realized that for backwards compatibility, perhaps P1022 is not the best case, though attractive overall. It would need some serious work on the FPU real-time translation, and I can't even estimate the impact of that.
