[RFC v3 24/24] m68k: Dispatch nvram_ops calls to Atari or Mac functions

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

Hi Finn,

Thanks for your patch!

Forward declarations belong in a header file, to be included by both
producers and consumers.

For maintainability, it's better to just have "bool" here, and let both the
ATARI and MAC config symbols select HAVE_ARCH_NVRAM_OPS.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
