Not necessarily since we'd use --gpl option only for
dsdt_anycpu_qemu_xen, dsdt_anycpu and dsdt_15cpu and these files are not
used by the non-GPL caller, which is libxl (it only wants dsdt_pvh).
Of course, this is what we have currently.

We don't lose any functionality (again, currently). In fact, this
indirectly prevents us from generating unnecessary files listed above.

The main reason for this whole relicensing debacle is to prevent non-GPL
binaries from linking against GPL objects, and this patch allows us to
do that. Yes, there will be be two non-LGPL files (dsdt.asl amd
mk_dsdt.c, which I will revert back to GPL) in an otherwise LGPL
directory but that's an in-convenience and not a license violation.
