Fairly easy. Translate 040 logical addresses to physical ones. For we need
a very generalized approach that works on as many machines as possible we
cannot assume that memory is contiguously mapped on the 040. So the task
is: walk the 040 MMU page tables by hand to get the physical address for a
given logical.

Hope this makes it a little clearer....
