As I can tell from a quick glance, there is no special handling for different 
kernel versions in QEMU. It translates syscalls from target application to 
host kernel and if we tell it to fake kernel version reported to application 
it does so and nothing more (linux-user/syscall.c in qemu). So I don't think 
there is any newest kernel version supported by QEMU for any target, it just 
doesn't care.
