From: Jesse Chan <jc@linux.com>


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.

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.
