The patch added a special get_unmapped_area for framebuffer which
was hooked to the file ops in drivers/video/fbmem.c.
This is needed since v2.6.29-rc1 where nommu vma management was
updated, and mmap of framebuffer caused kernel BUG panic. You may turn
on "Debug the global anon/private NOMMU mapping region tree" config to
such message.
As Documentation/nommu-mmap.txt said,
"To provide shareable character device support, a driver must provide
a file->f_op->get_unmapped_area() operation. The mmap() routines will
call this to get a proposed address for the mapping."
With this change, user space should call mmap for framebuffer using
shared map. Or it can try shared map first, then private map if
failed. This shared map usage is now consistent between mmu and nommu.
The sys_ file may not be a good place for this patch. But there is a
similar one for sparc. I tested a similar patch on nios2nommu, though
I don't have a blackfin board to test.

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).
