Subject: [PATCH] add MODULE_* attributes to bit reversal library

Without a MODULE_LICENSE attrib in lib/bitrev.c we get this yuckiness:

  bitrev: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel.


From: Cal Peake <cp@...olutedigital.net>

Add MODULE_* attributes to the new bit reversal library. Most notably 
MODULE_LICENSE which prevents superfluous kernel tainting.
