The nop-before-f-line (correction: s/after/before/) workaround is
noted as E4 at the original PR port-mac68k/13078.
But I can't find any other materials...

And I know about the exception-at-end-of-page bug (No.10), too.
Whether this happens depends on the address of an unimplemented
floating point instruction.  The nop-before-f-line workaround
affects (It may become to avoid or may become to hit) but doesn't
improve the errata No.10.
