In my mind there bubbles the idea of protected Cacheareas. If we have a
special opcode to lock/unlock  a range on the cache with emulation
code... ...than it is possible that an OS use it for a fast
software-emulation of FP or somewhat...

Another advantage is that we transform the coding-hardware-process into
coding-software. Coding software can do a wider range of developers as
conding hardware like VHDL and so.

Is this a possible way to do this? Any hints?
