The Motorola 68xxx MMUs, 040 (and later) have a fixed 7,7,{5,6}
page-table setup, where the last depends on the page-size selected (8k
vs 4k resp.), and head.S selects 4K pages. For 030 (and earlier) we
explicitly program 7,7,6 and 4K pages in %tc.
However, the current code implements this mightily weird. What it does
is group 16 of those (6 bit) pte tables into one 4k page to not waste
space. The down-side is that that forces pmd_t to be a 16-tuple
pointing to consecutive pte tables.
This breaks the generic code which assumes READ_ONCE(*pmd) will be
word sized.
Therefore implement a straight forward 7,7,6 3 level page-table setup,
with the addition (for 020/030) of (partial) large-page support. For
now this increases the memory footprint for pte-tables 15 fold.
Tested with ARAnyM/68040 emulation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
