Re: [PATCH-for-9.0] docs: Deprecate the pseries-2.12 machines

pSeries machines before 3.0 have complex migration back compatibility code we'd like to get ride of. The last one is 2.12, which is 6 years old. We just deprecated up to the 2.11 machine in commit 1392617d35 ("spapr: Tag pseries-2.1 - 2.11 machines as deprecated"). Take to opportunity to also deprecate the 2.12 machines. Signed-off-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <philmd(a)linaro.org&gt; --- In 2025 I'd like to get ride of the code related to: include/hw/ppc/spapr_cpu_core.h:31: bool pre_3_0_migration; /* older machine don't know about SpaprCpuState */
