An observation from the patch, the 68000/entry-*.S files all look
quite similar. Is there any way they can be merged into a single
file?

I'm just noticed that accidentally I've added the 'entry-68000.S'!
This file should be removed.

About merging, yes I plan to do it later. The thing is that in my
first attempt of running this kernel in the 68000 the entry code from
the  68328 had a strange behavior (you should remember debugging this
with me - lots of softlocks).
Then I've used the entry.S from coldfire sources as base and it worked smooth.

I suspect the existing 68x328 code is broken, and we probably want
to use your fixed and working version of this entry.S for all.

I don't have any real 68328 based hardware, but many years ago
people used the xcopilot simulator for 68328 testing. I don't know
what the state of it these days, but it may still be useful.

Regards
Greg
