The BSET insrtuction is the same on the 68020 as on the 68000; it can affect
data registers or memory bytes ONLY. (See MC68020 32-Bit Microprocssor User's
Manual, pp. B-48, B-49.)

Making it different would make the processors less compatible; recall that
one of the goals of 68000 family is to be fully upward-compatible.
