This matches all the other Blackfin ports and keep us from having to write
bf561-specific code in many places.

SMP systems require per-cpu local clock event devices in order to enable
HRT support. One a BF561, we can use local core timer for this purpose.
Originally, there was one global core-timer clock event device set up for
core A.
To accomplish this feat, we need to split the gptimer0/core timer logic
so that each is a standalone clock event. There is no requirement that
we only have one clock event source anyways. Once we have this, we just
define per-cpu clock event devices for each local core timer.

When testing PREEMPT_RT kernel on BF561-EZKit, the kernel blocks while
booting. When the kernel initializes the ethernet driver, it sleeps and
never wakes up.
The issue happens when the kernel waits for a timer for Core B to timeout
(the timers are per-cpu based: static DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct tvec_base *,
tvec_bases) = &boot_tvec_bases).
However, the ksoftirqd thread for Core B (note, the ksoftirqd thread is
also per-cpu based) cannot work properly, and the timers for Core B never
times out.
When ksoftirqd() for the first time runs on core B, it is possible core A
is still initializing core B (see smp_init() -> cpu_up() -> __cpu_up()).
So the "cpu_is_offline()" check may return true and ksoftirqd moves to
"wait_to_die".
So delay the core b start up until the per-cpu timers have been set up
fully.

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).

For systems where the core cycles are not a usable tick source (like SMP
or cycles gets updated), enable gptimer0 as an alternative.
