Why use these to decide if this is MMU or not?
This code is not exposed to user-space so we can rely on CONFIG_* symbols.
IMO the CONIFG_* symbols is easier to read/maintain.

Because technically it doesn't depend on having a MMU or not, but on having
the full 32-bit multiplication instruction or not.

Does Coldfire-with-MMU (for which we haven't integrated the support
yet) have that
instruction?

Actually, MCF547x&  MCF548x (CFv4e family) are integrated but without their
limited MMU functionality.

freescale had even written an mmu port for 2.6.25 but has not pushed it
upstream.  This port can be found on their site or in the openwrt repository.

Part of my plan with the merge of m68k and m68knommu is to make
it easy to support the v4e parts with MMU enabled. And certainly as
I work through cleaning the individual files up I am doing it
with this in mind. Of course most of the code to support the v4e
is the same no matter if you have the MMU enabled or not.

I have Freescales 2.6.25 kernel, but it is really only a reference
point for this work.

MCF547x&  MCF548x do not have that instruction.

Thats right. I believe the processors listed in the patch are
the only ones that currently support the 64bit mul.

Greg
