[llvm-dev] [RFC] Backend for Motorola 6800 series CPU (M68k)

[Simon Pilgrim via llvm-dev]

Its awesome to see so much progress on this!

A very minor question - why is it called M680x0 and not M68K given 
that's what the target arch/triple is and how its usually referred to?

Sorry for the bikeshedding....

Simon.
