Yeah, heard of that.  But, would it be as fast at emulating a 68030 as a
68000 would be?  I'm thinking that you might be able to get by with just
trapping MMU instructions and emulating them.  

However, further thinking about it makes me think that this could mean
that all memory access functions might need to be trapped.

I wonder how uClinux deals with the problem...
