... until someone takes one of the freely-available CPU emulators
(from PCEmu, Bochs, Willows TWIN etc), makes it an LKM and teaches the
kernel to run processes with the synthetic PSL_VM bit set using it.

Geez Terry, I even took this idea from your old postings on the topic 8)

BTW, you mentioned a RedBook on the whole v86 thing in the OS/2 
perspective; I had a look at the RedBOoks site but it's a pain to 
navigate and I found nothing.  Do you still have the reference?  Is
the book available online?
