  On behalf of the DPDK Technical board, Hemant Agrawal observed that the
DPDK project's Intellectual Property Policy (http://dpdk.org/about/charter)
requires 3-Clause BSD license or an exception approval. However, two
vmxnet3 source files have 2-Clause BSD license.

This patch modifies those licenses to 3-Clause BSD license.

Hi Hemant,

Just to clarify, we want license header update for all licenses including
existing BSD-3 ones, right? Not just for wrong/different license types.

Thanks,
