Well, I think simply saying where this function was carved out from:

arch/x86/kvm/cpuid.c

is good enough. If someone is so much interested in a copyright, someone
can read that file's copyright. Especially since that copyright line
in the original file is not telling you a whole lot about who are all
copyright owners.

And before we delve into lawyer-land, let's simply point to where we got
this from and be done with it.

Thx.
