In the kernel at least, all files (including docs) should have an SPDX line.

However, configuration files which use a publicly documented format
(things like dot files) are not copyrightable apparently, and it was
proposed that the `scripts/spdxexclude` kernel script excludes those
[1], but the patch has not been merged (yet?) since I raised a couple
questions about how to handle those (sorry...).

So I am not sure if e.g. `Cargo.toml` should have a SPDX license
identifier or not.
