I don't recall of the simple (and thus non-mmu) m68k variants
support all the instructions used in this optimized version.
I will check that. It might be that this is mis-placed and
is actually conditional on the CPU type.

The C code version is significantly bigger, I think that is why
it was not inlined here (see arch/m68knommu/lib/checksum.c)

Ok, I will change that.
