That sentence is a bit weird: If this file has reached Linus' tree,
obviously v2 has reached Linus' tree. Maybe replace with:

"The old uAPI definitions are still kept in the header file to ease
transition for userspace copying these headers."

This will still break QEMU compilation after a headers update (although
it's not hard to fix.) I think we can live with that if needed.
