Subject: [PATCH] net/9p: trans_xen: add missing MODULE_AUTHOR/DESCRIPTION/LICENSE

From: Jesse Chan <[email protected]>

This change resolves a new compile-time warning
when built as a loadable module:

WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_LICENSE() in net/9p/9pnet_xen.o
see include/linux/module.h for more information

This adds the license as "Dual MIT/GPL", which matches the header of the file.

MODULE_DESCRIPTION and MODULE_AUTHOR are also added.

Could you consider adding the credit to the people who are in this patch that addresses the same issue?

Any version is fine with me, as long as the patch makes it in. I picked
up Jesse's patch and forwarded that one, as he seems to have been
the first person to send a patch back in November.

Comparing the two versions, I think that one is also better since it correctly
identifies the license as "Dual MIT/GPL", matching the comment.
