[PATCH v1 15/25] Deprecate 32 bit big-endian MIPS
by Alex Bennée
It's becoming harder to maintain a cross-compiler to test this host
architecture as the old stable Debian 10 ("Buster") moved into LTS
which supports fewer architectures. For now:
- mark it's deprecation in the docs
- downgrade the containers to build TCG tests only
- drop the cross builds from our CI
Users with an appropriate toolchain and user-space can still take
their chances building it.

[PATCH] qemucapabilitiestest: Update qemu capabilities for qemu-7.1 release
by Peter Krempa
qemu-7.1 is released now. Update the capabilities for the final time.
Notable change since last update:
- 'exit-failure' action for 'panic' lifecycle action added
The 'min-xlevel' change is related to upgrade of the host kernel.
