IMHO this is largely a non-issue from a licensing compatibility POV, and thus not neccessary for stable. This is self-contained test code that, IIUC, is not linking to the bits of QEMU that are GPLv-2-only, so is valid to have any license. GPL-2.0+ is just "nice to have" for consistency of the codebase.
