Suppose we define a machine architecture not for building hardware, but specifically for
itself being easy to emulate?
This is by analogy to para-virtualized device drivers, which are not there to model real
devices, but to be easy to support in a virtual machine environment.

Although simh is huge step in that direction ;)
