There's still some gplv2-only code in qemu, iirc. As such, you can't use gplv3 code at all since the licenses are incompatible. gplv2-or-later is not a problem. I seriously doubt it would prevent being included in linux distributions. The linux kernel, the thing that everybody says makes linux linux, is gplv2-only right now.
