Well, the ia32 vs. i386 naming can go either way. The kernel refers to
all of the emulation functions using *_ia32, and the linuxulator uses
*_linux(*_linux32 on amd64, which adds to the confusion).The ibcs2-ulator
uses *_ibcs2. My vote is for /usr/compat/ia32, but we want to see if there
is popular support in even making it into its own subtree.
