We currently have got three ways of turning on the HAX accelerator:
"-machine accel=hax", "-accel hax" and "-enable-hax". That's really
confusing and overloaded. Since "-accel" is our preferred way to enable
an accelerator nowadays, and "-accel hax" is even less to type than
"-enable-hax", let's deprecate the "-enable-hax" option now.
Note: While "-enable-kvm" is available since a long time and can hardly be
removed since it is used in a lot of upper layer tools and scripts, the
"-enable-hax" option is still rather new and not very widespread yet, so
I think that it should be OK if we remove this in a couple of releases again
(we'll see whether someone complains after seeing the deprecation message -
then we could still reconsider to keep it if there a well-founded reasons).

VIO devices have an "irq" property that can be used by the sPAPR IRQ
allocator as an IRQ number hint. But it is not set in QEMU nor in
libvirt. It brings unnecessary complexity to the underlying layers

new static IRQ allocator we want to introduce in sPAPR.

'vlan' is very confusing since it does not mean something like IEEE

instead. While we're at it, move the subsection about hub a little bit
downward in the documentation (it's not as important anymore as it was
before the invention of the -netdev parameter), and extend it a little
bit.

The TARGET_BASE_ARCH values from "configure" don't all map to the
@CpuInfoArch enum constants; in particular "s390x" from the former does
not match @s390 in the latter. Clients are known to rely on the @s390
constant specifically, so we can't change it silently. Instead, deprecate
the @CpuInfoFast.@arch member (in favor of @CpuInfoFast.@target) using the
regular deprecation process.
(No deprecation reminder is added to sysemu_target_to_cpuinfo_arch(): once
@CpuInfoFast.@arch is removed, the assignment expression that calls
sysemu_target_to_cpuinfo_arch() from qmp_query_cpus_fast() will have to
disappear; in turn the static function left without callers will also
break the build, thus it'll have to go.)

There are two issues with the documentation of the --balloon parameter:
First, "--balloon none" is simply doing nothing. Even if a machine had a
balloon device by default, this option is not disabling anything, it is
simply ignored. Thus let's simply drop this option from the documentation
to avoid to confuse the users (but keep the code in vl.c for backward
compatibility).
Second, the documentation claims that "--balloon virtio" is the default
mode, but this is not true anymore since commit 382f074371.
Since that commit, the option also has no real use case anymore, since
you can simply use "--device virtio-balloon" nowadays instead. Thus to
simplify our complex parameter zoo a little bit, let's deprecate the
the parameter now and tell the user to use "--device virtio-balloon"
instead.

qemu-system-ppcemb has been once split of qemu-system-ppc to support
CPU page sizes < 4096 for some of the embedded 4xx PowerPC CPUs.
However, there was hardly any OS available in the wild that really
used such small page sizes (Linux uses 4096 on PPC), so there is
no known recent use case for this separate build anymore. It's
rather cumbersome to maintain a separate set of config switches for
this, and it's wasting compile and test time of all the developers
who have to build all QEMU targets to verify that their changes did
not break anything.
Except for the small CPU page sizes, qemu-system-ppc can be used as
a full replacement for qemu-system-ppcemb since it contains all the
embedded 4xx PPC boards and CPUs, too. Thus let's start the deprecation
process for qemu-system-ppcemb to see whether somebody still needs
the small page sizes or whether we could finally remove this unloved
separate build.

Commit 0f5314a (v1.0) added section "Device URL Syntax" to
qemu-options.hx. It's enclosed in STEXI..ETEXI, thus affects only
qemu-options.texi, not --help. It appears as a subsection under
section "Invocation". Similarly, qemu.1 has it as a subsection under
"OPTIONS".
Commit f9dadc9 (v1.1.0) dropped new option -iscsi into the middle of
this section. No effect on qemu-options.texi. It appears in --help
run together with the "Bluetooth(R) options:" header.
Commit c70a01e (v1.5.0) gives it is own heading in --help by moving
commit 0f5314a's DEFHEADING(Device URL Syntax:) outside STEXI..ETEXI.
Trouble is the heading makes no sense for -iscsi.
Move all of the "Device URL Syntax" Texinfo to qemu-doc.texi. Mark it
for inclusion in qemu.1 with '@c man begin NOTES'. This turns it into
a separate section outside the list of options both in qemu-doc and in
qemu.1.
There's substantial overlap with the existing qemu-doc section "Disk
Images". Mark with a TODO comment.
Output of --help will be fixed next.

[Unwanted @node dropped]
With the cssids unrestricted (commit "s390x/css: unrestrict cssids") the
s390-squash-mcss machine property should not be used. Actually Libvirt
never supported this, so the expectation is that removing it should be
pretty painless. But let's play nice and deprecate it first.

It's easy to use device_add and device_del as replacement instead.
The usb_add and usb_del commands are deprecated since QEMU 2.10,
and nobody complained that they are still needed, so let's get rid
of them now to make the HMP interface a little bit less overloaded.
