patch for qtcore ebuild

When updating my vserver (a Xen domu on ancient Debian), suddenly I could not start my quasselcore anymore. Turns out the kernel (outside my control) was 3.2, and QtCore requires at least 3.17 (the way we configure it). 

Attached is a small patch to conditionally allow older kernels (back to 2.6.28).
