Bummer, I saw your patch before, but I never noticed the `default y if M68K'.

Can you please tell me on which platforms SYSV68 partition tables are commonly
used (I guess the Motorola MVME boards?), 

I guess so. I have a disk for my MVME167 lying around here somewhere
with SYSV/68 on it. If you want, I can verify what exact machines it
runs on, but I guess "every 68k MVME" is a safe enough bet.
