The following files have LGPL or GPL licenses. I can see the libretto_eal and the four files that are part of DTS being GPL, but there others seem like a mistake.
Especially the docs, and the presence of the LICENSE.LGPL file.
Is it possible to clean these up and make them BSD licensed?

No. KNI, Xen, and IGB UIO must be GPL licensed since they are kernel drivers.
The other stuff header files should be dual licensed.
