[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3] compiler: Swap 'public domain' header for license

[Felipe Franciosi <felipe@nutanix.com>]

As discussed on the list [1], having a comment stating that this file
is "public domain" is arguably wrong and not legally binding. This patch
replaces that comment with a clear GPLv2+ license as proposed in [2].

Worth noting, compiler.h was originally created on 5c026320 by splitting
qemu-common.h. At the time, qemu-common.h was already GPLv2+.

v3: Explicitly call out 5c026320 on the commit message.
v2: Add a GPLv2+ statement after removing 'public domain' text.
    Amend the commit message and text to reflect it.
