Exec provides a number of to control the processor mode and, if available,
the caches.  All these functions work independently of the specific M68000
family processor type.  This enables you to write code which correctly
controls the state of both the MC68000 and the MC68040.  Along with
processor mode and cache control, functions are provided to obtain
information about the condition code register (CCR) and status register
(SR).  No functions are provided to control a paged memory management unit
(PMMU) or floating point unit (FPU).
