Fix trivial conflict due to MIPS lemote -> loongson renaming.
The persistent clock of some architectures (e.g. s390) have a
better granularity than seconds. To reduce the delta between the
host clock and the guest clock in a virtualized system change the
read_persistent_clock function to return a struct timespec.

They tend to get not updated when files are moved around or copied and
lack any obvious use. While at it zap some only too obvious comments and
as per Shinya's suggestion, add a copyright header to extable.c.

Hard to follow who is pointing what to where and why so it's simply getting
in the way of the time code renovation.

This has not been any serious user of this ill conceived thing since the
original invention in like '95.

This is an optimised implementation of early printk() for the DECstation.
After the recent conversion to a MIPS-specific generic routine using a
character-by-character output the performance dropped significantly.
This change reverts to the previous speed -- even at 9600 bps of the
serial console the difference is visible with a naked eye; I presume for a
framebuffer it is even worse (it may depend on exactly which one is used
though).
Additionally the change includes a fix for a problem that the old
implementation had -- the format used would not actually limit the length
of the string output. This new implementation uses a local buffer to deal
with it -- even with this additional copying it is much faster than the
generic function.
Plus this driver is registered much earlier than the generic one,
allowing one to see critical messages, such as one about an incorrect CPU
setting used, that are produced beforehand. :-)

Convert old/obsolete NORET_TYPE and ATTRIB_NORET macros to use the
newer standard of "__noreturn" as defined in compiler-gcc.h.

Many Makefiles in arch/mips have EXTRA_AFLAGS := $(CFLAGS) line. This
is redundant while AFLAGS contains $(cflags-y) and any options only
listed in CFLAGS (not in cflags-y) should be unnecessary for asm
sources.
