This is not the license which this code originally had (xenpaging.c is
GPL2+). AFAIR the GPL does not have any clause which allows it to
convert to the LGPL in this way (unlike the converse, which is
possible).

Have you had permission from the existing copyright holders to relicense
this code? If so then this needs to be spelled out explicitly in the
commit log. If not then you need to explicitly seek permission.

Ian.
