Add FIXME about using the C code variants (APUS ones) in the future.

FWIW, has anyone managed to boot m68k linux kernel on e.g. FS-UAE?
I have done that on aranym (which is how I'd been doing all
testing for e.g. signal-related m68k patches) and I've seen
references to some out-of-tree qemu variant doing quadra, but
nothing for amiga emulators...

Laurent Vivier's Quadra 800 emulation is no longer out of tree. It 
appeared in QEMU v4.2.0 and ethernet support was stabilized in QEMU 
v5.0.0.
