hi and happy new year to all !

also consider that when using 68030 + MMU, the TOS mmu tables are 
located in the ram below 0x10000, so you will get tons of such warnings.

I think that to make such an option viable you would need to combine it 
with only certains PC values (for example don't report anything when PC 
is somewhere in TOS ROM)
