I don't see a consensus at all.  Half the i386 maintainers and the
ia16 contributor are AGAINST a merge.  Me, I'm against it too -
they're almost completely different "chips", and there's great
potential for confusion between a pure 16 bit environment and 32 bit
code running in a 16 bit mode.

I say keep it separate.
