The reason you have an x86 emulator is so that you can run BIOSes
written in x86 assembly on non-x86 machines.  There are some other
reasons, but yeah.  So yes, it really _does_ need to support non-x86
architectures, else everything would be an asm passthrough, instead of
an insane x86 state machine.
