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").

The "handle" fsdev backend was deprecated in QEMU 2.12.0 with:
commit db3b3c7281
Author: Greg Kurz <groug@kaod.org>
Date: Mon Jan 8 11:18:23 2018 +0100
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 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).

so that total number of logical CPUs [sockets * cores * threads]

such check in QEMU and it is possible to start VM with an invalid

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

GTK2 was deprecated in the 2.12.0 release with:
commit b7715af2b3

Date: Tue Dec 12 11:34:40 2017 +0000
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.

The "name" in the [hub_id name] parameter tuple is the same as a
"netdev_id" (which should be unique), so specifying the hub_id here
is just redundant (it was likely just necessary in the past when
the network subsystem was still using "vlans" only and when it did
not use unique "id"s yet).

In early times, network backends were specified by a "vlan" and "name"
tuple. With the introduction of netdevs, the "name" was replaced by an
"id" (which is supposed to be unique), but the "name" parameter stayed
as an alias which could be used instead of "id". Unfortunately, we miss
the duplication check for "name":
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -net user,name=n1 -net user,name=n1
... starts without an error, while "id" correctly complains:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -net user,id=n1 -net user,id=n1
qemu-system-x86_64: -net user,id=n1: Duplicate ID 'n1' for net
Instead of trying to fix the code for the legacy "name" parameter, let's
rather get rid of this old interface and deprecate the "name" parameter
now - this will also be less confusing for the users in the long run.

Consumers of QEMU need to track feature deprecation. Keeping
deprecation documentation in its own file helps in two small ways:
* You can track changes the easy and obvious way, with git-log.
Before, you had to resort to more complex gittery like "git-log
--oneline -L '/@node Deprecated features/,/@node Supported build
platforms/:qemu-doc.texi'"
* It lets us use MAINTAINERS to copy interested parties on deprecation
patches, so they can advise or object before they're a done deal.
The next commit will do that for libvirt.
