Graf Yang 1fa9be72b5 Blackfin: add support for gptimer0 as a tick source
For systems where the core cycles are not a usable tick source (like SMP
or cycles gets updated), enable gptimer0 as an alternative.

Yi Li 6a01f23033 Blackfin arch: merge adeos blackfin part to arch/blackfin/
[Mike Frysinger <vapier.adi@gmail.com>:
 - handle bf531/bf532/bf534/bf536 variants in ipipe.h
 - cleanup IPIPE logic for bfin_set_irq_handler()
 - cleanup ipipe asm code a bit and add missing ENDPROC()
 - simplify IPIPE code in trap_c
 - unify some of the IPIPE code and fix style
 - simplify DO_IRQ_L1 handling with ipipe code
 - revert IRQ_SW_INT# addition from ipipe merge
 - remove duplicate get_{c,s}clk() prototypes

Bryan Wu 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:
