http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git;a=commit;h=ed29a8097665ef86dd9a2d8a8a3b808ab70f28ee

that's the commit that brought in abort-ev6.S. The only copyrights I see
in that commit are,

linux/arch/arm/mm/tlb-v6.S
Copyright (C) 1997-2002 Russell King

include/asm-arm/atomic.h
Copyright (C) 1996 Russell King.
Copyright (C) 2002 Deep Blue Solutions Ltd

linux/arch/arm/mm/proc-v6.S
Copyright (C) 2001 Deep Blue Solutions Ltd.

Should I just add all these and give everyone credit?

Daniel
