>Description:
wtf knows about TLB (TLB: translation lookaside buffer) but fails to
mention that it is an IBM-ism.
wtf does not know the proper meaning of ATC (address translation cache)
which is the corresponding Motorola-speak. See, for instance, the
MC68040 Microprocessor User's Manual from Motorola.
