I read LICENSE file, but I read also recent contributions, and it is
not clear to me what version of GPL is best/recommended for new file
just being introduced to QEMU:

* GPL 2.0
* GPL 2.0 (or later at your option)
* GPL 2.1
* GPL 2.1 (or later at your option)

or something else. (The rest od wording of license preamble is clear
to me.) Please somebody explsin snd clarify.

There is no GPL v2.1, you likely mixed that up with LGPL v2.1

For new files, you've got to choose a license that is compatible with GPL v2.0 (or later at your option). So LGPL v2.1 is fine, too.
