bk-linuxppc_2_4 mpc8xx compile fix

Hi all,

I recently tried to compile a fresh bitkeeper linuxppc_2_4 tree for
mpc8xx:

arch/ppc/kernel/kernel.o: In function `SoftwareEmulation':
arch/ppc/kernel/kernel.o(.text+0xa04): undefined reference to
`Soft_emulate_8xx'
arch/ppc/kernel/kernel.o(.text+0xa04): relocation truncated to fit:
R_PPC_REL24 Soft_emulate_8xx
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

The relevant .config line:

# CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION is not set

I will probably not get the nobelprize for the fix,
but is works for me... =)

Cheers /

Magnus

The intention here is to remove the old, original, half-assed emulate
a few instructions function.  Either you get floating point emulation
or you don't.  I wrote the original version long ago before there was
floating point emulation, just to make a little forward progress.  It's
time to remove it and I guess the Makefiles, configuration, and real
code files didn't get updated together.

Use whatever works (you won the prize :-), and it will be fixed up
shortly.

Thanks.
