Daniel P. Berrange 5d19a6eae9 docs: update information for TLS certificate management
The current docs for TLS assume only VNC is using TLS. Some of the information
is also outdated (ie lacking subject alt name info for certs). Rewrite it to
more accurately reflect the current situation.

Paolo Bonzini fb8152181d qemu-doc: update deprecation section to use -nic and -netdev hubport
The deprecated SLIRP options -tftp, -bootp, -redir, -smb provide
sample replacements that use "-net nic".  Suggest "-nic" instead,
since we finally have a path towards getting rid of "-net".

For "-net vlan" the replacement involves hubport network devices,
so mention that too.

Thomas Huth 4060e671c3 balloon: Fix documentation of the --balloon parameter and deprecate it
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.

 - store enabled bitmaps as "auto" to qcow2
 - store disabled bitmaps without "auto" flag to qcow2
 - on qcow2 open load "auto" bitmaps as enabled and others

Also, adjust iotests 165 and 176 appropriately.

thuth@redhat.com 64b47457da ppc: Deprecate qemu-system-ppcemb
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.

Thus we deprecate the SDL 1.2 support, which will allow us to delete it

- requires the QEMU process to run with the CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH

Markus Armbruster e896d0f9ca qemu-options qemu-doc: Move "Device URL Syntax" to qemu-doc
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.

Halil Pasic d69969e55f s390x: deprecate s390-squash-mcss machine prop
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.

Thomas Huth 81950da681 hmp-commands: Remove the deprecated usb_add and usb_del
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.

Daniel P. Berrange eb22aeca65 docs: document deprecation policy & deprecated features in appendix
The deprecation of features in QEMU is totally adhoc currently,
with no way for the user to get a list of what is deprecated
in each release. This adds an appendix to the doc that records
when each deprecation was made and provides text explaining
what to use instead, if anything.

Since there has been no formal policy around removal of deprecated
features in the past, any deprecations prior to 2.10.0 are to be
treated as if they had been made at the 2.10.0 release. Thus the
earliest that existing deprecations will be deleted is the start
of the 2.12.0 cycle.

Thomas Huth abc67eb6e8 qemu-doc: Add missing "@c man end" statements
Since commit 3f2ce724f1 ("Move the qemu-ga description into a
separate chapter"), the qemu.1 man page looks pretty much screwed
up, e.g. the title was "qemu-ga - QEMU Guest Agent" instead of
"qemu-doc - QEMU Emulator User Documentation". However, that movement
of the gemu-ga chapter is not the real problem, it just triggered
another bug in the qemu-doc.texi: There are some parts in the file
which introduce a "@c man begin OPTIONS" section, but never close
it again with "@c man end". After adding the proper end tags here,
the title of the man page is right again and the previously wrongly
tagged sections now also show up correctly in the man page, too.
