Use a literal
Signed-off-by: Jon Dufresne <jon.dufresne at gmail.com>
please.


Attached is an updated patch which has a complete and correct (AFAICT)
license header. Your license headers were missing author(s) and date.

The trivial files and those you wrote from scratch are now
 * Copyright (C) 2006 Jon Dufresne <jon.dufresne at gmail.com>
and some of them are (also) copyrighted by others.

I reconstructed some licensing info from the svn logs. Please let me
know if my conclusions are not correct.

Trivial.

Trivial.

Written from scratch.

Judging from
http://tracker.linuxbios.org/trac/LinuxBIOS/log/trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/mainboard/via/epia/debug.c
which seems to be the first occurence of any debug.c in the code, this
was written by Ron in 2003, so:
 * Copyright (C) 2003 Ronald G. Minnich <rminnich at lanl.gov>

Is this correct? The commit comment says "via epia; also yh lu tyan.".
Does that mean YH is the author?

Judging from
http://tracker.linuxbios.org/trac/LinuxBIOS/log/trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/northbridge/via/vt8601/northbridge.c
which seems to be the first occurence of a northbridge.c which this one
is based on, this was written by Ron in 2003 and modified by Eric in
2003,2004, so:
 * Copyright (C) 2003 Ronald G. Minnich <rminnich at lanl.gov>
 * Copyright (C) 2003-2004 Eric W. Biederman <ebiederman at lnxi.com>
 * Copyright (C) 2006 Jon Dufresne <jon.dufresne at gmail.com>

Trivial.
 * Copyright (C) 2006 Jon Dufresne <jon.dufresne at gmail.com>


> Index: src/northbridge/intel/i855gme/i855gme.h

Currently empty. If you add code here, please add a license header.

Trivial.
