For context, I wrote a patch to introduce SPDX tags starting from
arch/arm/*.c.

Don't we want something like the kernel's LICENSES directory in order to
have something the SPDX lines refer to? COPYING should maybe adapted, too.

I don't know if we need to go as far as the LICENSES directory. For
example, Zephyr doesn't have anything of the sort AFAICT. But maybe it
is cleaner to have it?

I would think so.

For the hypervisor, GPL-2.0 and GPL-2.0-or-later are the ones that are
relevant so we would only need LICENSES/preferred/GPL-2.0 initially?

I don't think we really need the "preferred" directory level.

And I do think that at least in the include/public directory we have many
files with MIT license. There might be BSD ones at other places, too.
