Since i'm the only author of the code in head.S couldn't i 'release' it
also with BSD license ? If so, is there an interest to reuse it and
what's the procedure to do so ?

Some stuff in entry.S is done in linux specific way so this BSD licensing 
might be more complicated and not really worth the effort... If it would
help the NetBSD port i can seperate the usefull part and release that as
BSD-licensed code...
