    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 ...
