I suspect the existing 68x328 code is broken, and we probably want
to use your fixed and working version of this entry.S for all.

I don't have any real 68328 based hardware, but many years ago
people used the xcopilot simulator for 68328 testing. I don't know
what the state of it these days, but it may still be useful.
