The "arm9tdmi.c" file is more of a generic ARM9 support file:
- update comments to say so. - update docs to clarify that the "arm9tdmi" command prefix is a misnomer. - bugfix some messages that wrongly assume only ARM9TDMI based processors use this code. git-svn-id: svn://svn.berlios.de/openocd/trunk@2719 b42882b7-edfa-0310-969c-e2dbd0fdcd60

-Many ARM9-family CPUs are built around ARM9TDMI integer cores,
-or processors resembling ARM9TDMI, and can use these commands.
+ARM9-family cores are built around ARM9TDMI or ARM9E (including ARM9EJS)
+integer processors.
Such cores include the ARM920T, ARM926EJ-S, and ARM966.
+For historical reasons, one command shared by these cores starts
+with the @command{arm9tdmi} prefix.
+This is true even for ARM9E based processors, which implement the
+ARMv5TE architecture instead of ARMv4T.

@c 9-june-2009: tried this on arm920t, it didn't work.
@c no-params always lists nothing caught, and that's how it acts.
