These machines can't be used reliably for migration anymore, quoting
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-12/msg04516.html :
"
due to the introduction of the memory API, the firmware is not
migrated correctly from source to destination. On QEMU <1.3 the
0xf0000-0xfffff area is basically a copy of the higher
0xffff0000-0xffffffff area, while on more recent versions it is
initialized with zeroes and the firmware copies from 0xffff0000 to
0xf0000. When you migrate from old to new QEMU, after reboot there's
nothing at 0xf0000 and bugs ensue.
"
The pc-0.x machines have been marked as deprecated since QEMU v4.0, so
it is time to remove them now.
And while we're at it, mark the remaining pc-1.x machine types
as deprecated now, too, so that we finally only have "pc-i440fx"
and "pc-q35" machine types left (apart from the non-versioned
"isapc" and "microvm") once we remove them in a couple of releases.

It's been deprecated since QEMU v3.1. We've explicitly asked in the
deprecation message that people should speak up on qemu-devel in case
they are still actively using the bluetooth part of QEMU, but nobody
ever replied that they are really still using it.
I've tried it on my own to use this bluetooth subsystem for one of my
guests, but I was also not able to get it running anymore: When I was
trying to pass-through a real bluetooth device, either the guest did
not see the device at all, or the guest crashed.
Even worse for the emulated device: When running
qemu-system-x86_64 -bt device:keyboard
QEMU crashes once you hit a key.
So it seems like the bluetooth stack is not only neglected, it is
completely bitrotten, as far as I can tell. The only attention that
this code got during the past years were some CVEs that have been
spotted there. So this code is a burden for the developers, without
any real benefit anymore. Time to remove it.
Note: hw/bt/Kconfig only gets cleared but not removed here yet.
Otherwise there is a problem with the *-softmmu/config-devices.mak.d
dependency files - they still contain a reference to this file which
gets evaluated first on some build hosts, before the file gets
properly recreated. To avoid breaking these builders, we still need
the file around for some time. It will get removed in a couple of
weeks instead.

The r4k machine was introduced in 2005 (6af0bf9c7) and its last
logical change was in 2005 (9542611a6). After that, one can
count 164 maintenance commits (QEMU API changes) with the
exception of 1 fix in 2015 (memory leak, commit 3ad9fd5a).
This machine was introduced as a proof of concept to run a MIPS
CPU. Two years later, the Malta machine was added (commit
5856de80), modeling a real platform.
Note also this machine has no specification except 5 lines in
the header of this file:
* emulates a simple machine with ISA-like bus.
* ISA IO space mapped to the 0x14000000 (PHYS) and
* ISA memory at the 0x10000000 (PHYS, 16Mb in size).
* All peripherial devices are attached to this "bus" with
* the standard PC ISA addresses.
The Linux kernel support for this machine has been dropped more
than 10 years ago in commit 302922e5.
It is time to deprecate this obsolete machine. Users are
recommended to use the Malta board, and its hardware is well
documented.

The parameter allows to configure fake NUMA topology where guest
VM simulates NUMA topology but not actually getting performance
benefits from it. The same or better results could be achieved
using 'memdev' parameter.
Beside of unpredictable performance, '-numa node.mem' option has
other issues when it's used with combination of -mem-path +
+ -mem-prealloc + memdev backends (pc-dimm), breaking binding of
memdev backends since mem-path/mem-prealloc are global and affect
the most of RAM allocations.
It's possible to make memdevs and global -mem-path/mem-prealloc
to play nicely together but that will just complicate already
complicated code and add unobious ways it could break on 2
different memmory allocation pathes and their combinations.
Instead of it, consolidate all guest RAM allocation over memdev
which still allows to create fake NUMA configurations if desired
and leaves one simplifyed code path to consider when it comes
to guest RAM allocation.
To achieve desired simplification deprecate 'mem' parameter as its
ad-hoc partitioning of initial RAM MemoryRegion can't be translated
to memdev based backend transparently to users and in compatible
manner (migration wise).
Later down the road that will allow to consolidate means of how
guest RAM is allocated and would permit us to clean up quite
a bit memory allocations and numa code, leaving only 'memdev'
implementation in place.

The VNC server has historically had support for ACLs to check both the
SASL username and the TLS x509 distinguished name. The VNC server was
responsible for creating the initial ACL, and the client app was then
responsible for populating it with rules using the HMP 'acl_add' command.
This is not satisfactory for a variety of reasons. There is no way to
populate the ACLs from the command line, users are forced to use the
HMP. With multiple network services all supporting TLS and ACLs now, it
is desirable to be able to define a single ACL that is referenced by all
services.
To address these limitations, two new options are added to the VNC
server CLI. The 'tls-authz' option takes the ID of a QAuthZ object to
use for checking TLS x509 distinguished names, and the 'sasl-authz'
option takes the ID of another object to use for checking SASL usernames.
In this example, we setup two authorization rules. The first allows any
client with a certificate issued by the 'RedHat' organization in the
'London' locality. The second ACL allows clients with either the
'joe@REDHAT.COM' or 'fred@REDHAT.COM' kerberos usernames. Both checks
must pass for the user to be allowed.

The -no-frame option has been deprecated with QEMU v2.12. It was only
useful with SDL1.2 - now that we've removed support for SDL1.2, we
can certainly remove the -no-frame option, too.

The existing qemu-nbd --partition code claims to handle logical
partitions up to 8, since its introduction in 2008 (commit 7a5ca86).
However, the implementation is bogus (actual MBR logical partitions
form a sort of linked list, with one partition per extended table
entry, rather than four logical partitions in a single extended
table), making the code unlikely to work for anything beyond -P5 on
actual guest images. What's more, the code does not support GPT
partitions, which are becoming more popular, and maintaining device
subsetting in both NBD and the raw device is unnecessary duplication
of effort (even if it is not too difficult).
Note that obtaining the offsets of a partition (MBR or GPT) can be
learned by using 'qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd0 file.qcow2 && sfdisk --dump
/dev/nbd0', but by the time you've done that, you might as well
just mount /dev/nbd0p1 that the kernel creates for you instead of
bothering with qemu exporting a subset. Or, keeping to just
user-space code, use nbdkit's partition filter, which has already
known both GPT and primary MBR partitions for a while, and was
just recently enhanced to support arbitrary logical MBR parititions.
Start the clock on the deprecation cycle, with examples of how
to accomplish device subsetting without using -P.

SDL1.2 was deprecated in the 2.12.0 release with:
commit e52c6ba341
Author: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>
Date: Mon Jan 15 14:25:33 2018 +0000
ui: deprecate use of SDL 1.2 in favour of 2.0 series
The SDL 2.0 release was made in Aug, 2013:
https://www.libsdl.org/release/
That will soon be 4 + 1/2 years ago, which is enough time to consider
the 2.0 series widely supported.
Thus we deprecate the SDL 1.2 support, which will allow us to delete it
in the last release of 2018. By this time, SDL 2.0 will be more than 5
years old.

It's been marked as deprecated in QEMU v2.6.0 already, so really nobody
should use the legacy "ivshmem" device anymore (but use ivshmem-plain or
ivshmem-doorbell instead). Time to remove the deprecated device now.
Belatedly also update a mention of the deprecated "ivshmem" in the file
docs/specs/ivshmem-spec.txt to "ivshmem-doorbell". Missed in commit
5400c02b90 ("ivshmem: Split ivshmem-plain, ivshmem-doorbell off ivshmem").
