target-unicore32/helper.c is skipped.

...which is explained in the above commit message and in the cover
letter. :)

Whether we can relicense it to GPLv2+ after patch 3/7 (which redoes
object instantiation in a way not derived from an IBM contribution)
remained an open question. IANAL.

What we can do, similar to Paolo's solution for central files, is to add
a notice to helper.c that makes new contributions from, e.g., today on
GPLv2+ so we don't need to ask for more people's permission.

Ack. I don't really think that my contribution here is large
enough that my "Acked-by" or "Signed-off-by" is needed,
but if it helps...

As far as I know, at least in German law trivial changes don't
result in a copyright claim. A global search-and-replace operation
which replaces qemu_mallocz by g_malloc0 is trivial and no
obstacle for a license change, so helper.c could be changed as
well(that's my personal opinion).

Regards,
Stefan W.

Nack.

I don't really want to get into the business of splitting hairs here.  We have 
no pressing reason to relicense to GPLv2+ so let's do it right and get the 
appropriate SoBs.
