Yah, the Mach 88k pmap scared me when I read it.

I have a full set of 88k documentation, and after reading the MMU docs,
thought it would be fun to write an 88k pmap... sort of a mix between
the m68k (with its page table traversal) and PowerPC (BAT registers,
some separation between I- and D- translation).

Honestly, I think the 88k pmap should be written from scratch.

I might be willing to help write the pmap, but I can't really promise
much until I get back from holidays (mid-January), and I don't have easy
access to any 88k hardware at the moment (my AViiON 4000 is in cold storage
right now, since I just moved).
