Subject: [PATCH 1/3] m68k: Handle 68040 bus faults

From: Roman Zippel <zippel@...ux-m68k.org>

Fix 68040 bus fault handling, so the standard kernel exception handling
can be used for i/o probing.
Contrary to normal access faults there is nothing to fix, but at least
we have to disable writebacks to avoid recursive faults.
