Compatibility modes are designed to disable sets of instructions to keep
working old userspace software which relies on some opcodes to be invalid.

linux-user is TCG, right? The user can pick any CPU he likes if there is
need to run such an old software, why on earth would anyone bother with
this compat mode in linux-user?
