My suggestion is that the 030 init function would reference to the 851
functions. This should be true for many 060 functions which would ref.
to 040 functions. Also, both 020 and 030 code would use the 881 funcs. 
And so on. There is no need to write the same function twice.

There are 7 functions that behave diffrently and there are two new control-
registers (buscr - bus control register and pcr - processor control register)

I made a fast patch to gas, which took me ~1h to complete+compile+test (I
don't have a 060 yet, but the hexdumps exist ;-)

I think (I/you) (wrote unclearly/missunderstod). I ment: Is anybody adding
060 support to gas/gcc officially? I know that the 060 will run 040 code if
the 68060sp is implemented.
