(Sorry, I'll need to double-check all unit test patches from that time.)

It does, the licensing follows COPYRIGHT and I assume that we can't
change the license without a lot of legal hassle.

Took me a while to realize what isn't clear: libcflat.h is GPL 2 and
being explicit with the border between GPL 2 and LGPL 2 sounds good for
re-usability of the code.  (I assume that the whole kvm-unit-tests is
effectively GPL 2, but parts of it are more benevolent.)

Applied, thanks.
