Why can't a coprocessor strategy use a mixed ISA with the handshaking with x86 over the HyperTransport?

Maybe I'm thinking way outside the box, but I'm thinking Opteron+HT+Coprocessor makes possible the ability to create well functioning hybrid ISA.

Once upon a time, there was a board with a x86 chip you could slot into an 68xxx Macintosh that would allow you to run PC Windows software on the Macintosh platform. An expensive option, but there was a market for it (for a while).
