Remaining patches need some cleanup before being submitted.

I have to submit some enhancements in the FPU emulation, but as they
modify fpu/softfloat.c, I don't want to put them as is in an m68k pull-req:

	target/m68k: manage FPU exceptions
	softfloat: define floatx80_is_any_nan for m68k
	softfloat: disable floatx80_invalid_encoding() for m68k

I have to add some specific m68k hardware emulation:

	m68k: add via support
	m68k: add video card
	q800: Apple Sound Chip (ASC) emulation
	q800: add Nubus support
	q800: add a dummy SWIM floppy controller
	m68k: define Macintosh Quadra 800

but via support should be rewritten as Mark has introduced a new generic
mos6522 VIA device.

I have to update some existing hardware emulation:

	ESP: add pseudo-DMA as used by Macintosh
	escc: introduce a selector for the register bit
	dp8393x: fix receiving buffer exhaustion
	dp8393x: put DMA temp buffer in the state, not in the stack
	dp8393x: manage big endian bus
	dp8393x: fix dp8393x_receive

So, this only needs some work and time. I hope q800 will be available in
QEMU 2.13.

Thanks,
Laurent
