   > 2) We could choose a single register layout for all i387 targets to

   If one needs to be created, we should follow the layout that the
   FNSAVE instruction stores the data in.  That may simplify some
   targets, and it's the only really documented layout (it's in all the
   Intel manuals :)

I'm in favour of option 2, with the layout suggested by DJ.  The fact
that this layout is also used by Mach and therefore the Hurd has of
course nothing to do with that preference ;-)
