96f1050d3d Blackfin: mass clean up of copyright/licensing info
Bill Gatliff & David Brownell pointed out we were missing some
copyrights, and licensing terms in some of the files in
./arch/blackfin, so this fixes things, and cleans them up.

It also removes:
 - verbose GPL text(refer to the top level ./COPYING file)
 - file names (you are looking at the file)
 - bug url (it's in the ./MAINTAINERS file)
 - "or later" on GPL-2, when we did not have that right

It also allows some Blackfin-specific assembly files to be under a BSD
like license (for people to use them outside of Linux).

837ec2d56c Blackfin: catch hardware errors earlier during booting
Allow hardware errors to be caught during early portions of booting, and
leave something in the shadow console that people can use to debug their
system with (to be printed out by the bootloader on next reset).

This enables the hardare error interrupts in head.S, allowing us to find
hardware errors when they happen (well, as much as you can with a hardware
error) and prints out the trace if it is enabled.  This will catch errors
(like booting the wrong image on a 533) which previously resulted in a
infinite loop/hang, as well as random hardware errors before before
setup_arch().

To disable this debug only feature - turn off EARLY_PRINTK.

3f871feaf3 Blackfin: add an early shadow console
Add a memory based shadow console to keep a copy of the printk buffer in a
location which can be found externally.  This allows bootloaders to locate
and utilize the log buffer in case of silent (early/resume/etc...) crashes.
