Why not just make all headers LGPL (or less restrictive, e.g. BSD)?
Don't many of these headers need to be referenced from OSes where software
is typically BSD-licensed, anyway?

(BSD without the advertising clause is compatible with GPL and LGPL.)

libxenctrl is GPL. Anything that includes the header file ought also to be linking with libxenctrl, so just changing the header file license is something of a hack.

Getting rid of the dependency is the right answer I think.
