Subject: [PATCH 1/8] x86: don't use module.h just for AUTHOR / LICENSE tags

The Kconfig controlling compilation of these files are:

arch/x86/Kconfig.debug:config DEBUG_RODATA_TEST
arch/x86/Kconfig.debug: bool "Testcase for the marking rodata read-only"

arch/x86/Kconfig.debug:config X86_PTDUMP_CORE
arch/x86/Kconfig.debug: def_bool n

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the couple traces of modular infrastructure use, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

We delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
is already contained at the top of the file in the comments.
