Please don't put extern declarations in .c code.  Put them in a header file
which is included by the file which provides the definition and by all
files which refer to the symbol.

Please review the entire blackfin patchset for more occurrences of this
mistake.

hm, I'd have thought that networking provided a way of avoiding that
memcpy, but it has been too long..
