IMHO same for i386sx. Without an FPU there is just no FPU. Without
486-specific instructions (or i586 etc. for that matter), the machine is
just constrained to the one requested by the user.
The fact that usually too many non ISA-imposed features are available
without explicit user choice is very, very unfortunate, IMO.
As always, features are or may be nice, iff and only if you are not
forced to have or use them..
