I tried your patches (on top of m68k 5.14).

Doesn't manage to start init, independent of what disk image I use:

Starting init: /bin/sh exists but couldn't execute it (error -22)
Kernel panic - not syncing: No working init found.  Try passing init= 
option to kernel. See Linux Documentation/admin-guide/init.rst for guidance.

And I don't think it's the return value issue Linus pointed out - the 
same thing happens with my own (quite similar, though much less 
sophisticated) patches based on what I sent in response to Linus' 
suggestions earlier...

I'll send the last version of mine that did still boot shortly.

Cheers,
