Nope, it's the former part (32-bit general purpose registers) that made it
a 32-bit CPU.  The 68000 only had 24-bit addressing instructions: the 
higher 8 bits of the address registers were not used when the address
of the operand was supplied by an address register, for the simple reason
that the address bus of the 68000 only had 24 bits.
