So all the floating point operations are done in software? The FPU is
not used anywhere? (I was under the impression that it did use VFP at
least to some extent.)

And are intra-Lua calls done using the standard C ABI? Most JITs I've
met don't; they use custom ABIs internally, and only translate to the
external ABI for interoperation with C.
