[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] relicense various bits of the dpdk

[Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com>]

Received a note the other day from the Linux Foundation governance board
for DPDK indicating that several files I have copyright on need to be
relicensed to be compliant with the DPDK licensing guidelines.  I have
some concerns with some parts of the request, but am not opposed to
other parts.  So, for those pieces that we are in consensus on, I'm
proposing that we change their license from BSD 2 clause to 3 clause.
I'm also updating the files to use the SPDX licensing scheme
