No no no no no. Linux emulation DOES exist in the freeBSD kernel.

What you mean is if somehow it included JIT recompilation of x86
bytecode so that we could run linux-x86 binaries. And yes, I agree that
would be awesome, however it would also take a metric fuckton (please
pardon my french) of horsepower to pull off in realtime.

(Has FreeBSD-ppc had all the binary emulation stuff stripped out of it,
or could I theoretically run a linux binary that was built for ppc?)
