0fde663708 blackfin,kgdb,probe_kernel: Cleanup probe_kernel_read/write
Blackfin needs it own arch specific probe_kernel_read() and
probe_kernel_write().

This was moved out of the kgdb code and into the
arch/blackfin/maccess.c, because it is a generic kernel api.

The arch specific kgdb.c for blackfin was cleaned of all functions
which exist in the kgdb core that do the same thing after resolving
the probe_kernel_read() and probe_kernel_write().  This also
eliminated the need for most of the #include's.

5e95320f9f Blackfin arch: rename blackfin_sram.c to sram-alloc.c
rename blackfin_sram.c to sram-alloc.c (we know it is a blackfin file,
since it is in arch/blackfin) - and there is no "driver" code in there,
it is just an allocator/deallocator for L1 and L2 sram.

Also fix a problem that checkpatch pointed out

1394f03221 blackfin architecture
This adds support for the Analog Devices Blackfin processor architecture, and
currently supports the BF533, BF532, BF531, BF537, BF536, BF534, and BF561
(Dual Core) devices, with a variety of development platforms including those
avaliable from Analog Devices (BF533-EZKit, BF533-STAMP, BF537-STAMP,
BF561-EZKIT), and Bluetechnix!  Tinyboards.

The Blackfin architecture was jointly developed by Intel and Analog Devices
Inc.  (ADI) as the Micro Signal Architecture (MSA) core and introduced it in
December of 2000.  Since then ADI has put this core into its Blackfin
processor family of devices.  The Blackfin core has the advantages of a clean,
orthogonal,RISC-like microprocessor instruction set.  It combines a dual-MAC
(Multiply/Accumulate), state-of-the-art signal processing engine and
single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) multimedia capabilities into a single
instruction-set architecture.

The Blackfin architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the
ADSP-BF53x/BF56x Blackfin Processor Programming Reference
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/download/frsrelease/29/2549/Blackfin_PRM.pdf

The Blackfin processor is already supported by major releases of gcc, and
there are binary and source rpms/tarballs for many architectures at:
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/toolchain/frs There is complete
documentation, including "getting started" guides available at:
http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/ which provides links to the sources and
patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling environment for
bfin-linux-uclibc

This patch, as well as the other patches (toolchain, distribution,
uClibc) are actively supported by Analog Devices Inc, at:
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/

We have tested this on LTP, and our test plan (including pass/fails) can
be found at:
