Description Alan Bartlett 2017-12-08 17:54:59 UTC 
The warning message, output during the kernel build, says it all --

WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_LICENSE() in net/9p/9pnet_xen.o
Comment 1 Stephen Hemminger 2017-12-08 17:58:47 UTC 
There is no module 9pnet_xen in upstream kernel.
You need to contact the author of any of tree code.

Found it never mind

Still present in linux-4.15-rc7 as of Mon 8 Jan 2018 (UTC).
Comment 5 Stephen Hemminger 2018-01-08 16:40:43 UTC 
Fix submitted (may make it in 4.15 final) and then stable.
