IANAL. It looked like you were adding a new file, so you can choose any
Open Source license that's compatible with the code that gets linked
together. Coroutines need to be compatible with parts of QEMU under
GPLv2, so LGPLv2.1 is the newest we can go AFAIU.

Further, there is no GNU Lesser General Public License 2.0, only 2.1:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-2.1.html

2.0 was the GNU Library General Public License:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.0.html

So this may even just be a typo somewhere.
