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.

Disabled: Not frozen or locked, disabled.
Active: Not frozen, locked, or disabled.
The problem is that both "Frozen" and "Locked" mean nearly the same thing,
and that both of them do not intuit whether they are recording guest writes

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 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.

9pfs: deprecate handle backend
This backend raise some concerns:
- doesn't support symlinks
- fails +100 tests in the PJD POSIX file system test suite [1]
- requires the QEMU process to run with the CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH
capability, which isn't recommended for security reasons
This backend should not be used and wil be removed. The 'local'
backend is the recommended alternative.

It has passed the two release cooling period without any complaint.
Remove it now.

The intended functionality of QMP `cpu-add` is replaced with
`device_add` (and `query-hotpluggable-cpus`). So let's deprecate
`cpu-add`.
A complete example of vCPU hotplug with the recommended way (using
`device_add`) is provided as part of a seperate docs patch.

It has been unmaintained since years, and there were only trivial or
tree-wide changes to the related files since many years, so the
code is likely very bitrotten and broken. For example the following
segfaults as soon as as you press a key:
qemu-system-x86_64 -usb -device usb-bt-dongle -bt hci -bt device:keyboard
Since we are not aware of anybody using bluetooth with the current
version of QEMU, let's mark the subsystem as deprecated, with a special
request for the users to write to the qemu-devel mailing list in case
they still use it (so we could revert the deprecation status in that
case).

-smp [cpus],sockets/cores/threads[,maxcpus] should describe topology
so that total number of logical CPUs [sockets * cores * threads]
would be equal to [maxcpus], however historically we didn't have
such check in QEMU and it is possible to start VM with an invalid
topology.
Deprecate invalid options combination so we can make sure that
the topology VM started with is always correct in the future.
Users with an invalid sockets/cores/threads/maxcpus values should
fix their CLI to make sure that
[sockets * cores * threads] == [maxcpus]

GTK2 was deprecated in the 2.12.0 release with:

ui: deprecate use of GTK 2.x in favour of 3.x series
The GTK 3.0 release was made in Feb, 2011:
https://blog.gtk.org/2011/02/10/gtk-3-0-released/
That will soon be 7 years ago, which is enough time to consider
the 3.x series widely supported.
Thus we deprecate the GTK 2.x support, which will allow us to
delete it in the last release of 2018. By this time, GTK 3.x
will be almost 8 years old.
