Subject: Re: [RFC v3 24/24] m68k: Dispatch nvram_ops calls to Atari or Mac functions

Thanks for your patch!

Forward declarations belong in a header file, to be included by both
producers and consumers.

For maintainability, it's better to just have "bool" here, and let both the
ATARI and MAC config symbols select HAVE_ARCH_NVRAM_OPS.
