As far as I can tell there is no GPL2.1+ the only 2.1 version in
existence is LGPL.

GPL2.1+ usually happens to be an error when someone takes library header
with LGPL2.1+ license and removes the "Lesser" part.

However it looks like the whole libhugetlbfs is under LGPL2.1+ which
kind of makes sense for a library, but not so much for the tests since
these do not provide a library that can be linked againts at all.
