The file CONTRIBUTING is only giving example of common example of 
license. So I think this is fine to use SPDX, the more they are already 
used. The only request is to put either SDPX or the full-blown text but 
not the two :). Lars, any objection?
I am quite in favor of SPDX because it is easier to find out the 
license. With the full-blown text, the text may slightly vary between 
licenses. For instance, the only difference between GPLv2 and GPLv2+ is 
",or (at your option) any later version". I let you imagine how it can 
be easy to miss it when reviewing ;).
We had a discussion last year about using SPDX in Xen code base but I 
never got the time to formally suggest it.

I am fine either way :). The indirect inclusion happens quite often and 
we only notice it when someone decide to rework the headers.

I am afraid a tasklet is not an option. You need to perform the TLB 
flush when requested otherwise you are introducing a security issue.
This is because as soon as a region is unmapped in the page table, we 
remove the drop the reference on any page backing that region. When the 
reference is dropped to zero, the page can be reallocated to another 
domain or even Xen. If the TLB flush happen after, then the guest may 
still be able to access the page for a short time if the translation has 
been cached by the any TLB (IOMMU, Processor).

The spin_lock is actually pointless here. This is done when the domain 
is destroyed, so nobody should touch it.
If you think concurrent access can still happen, then you are going to 
be in deep trouble as you free the xen_domain (and therefore the 
spinlock) below :).
