The versioned 'pc' and 'q35' machines up to 2.12 been marked
as deprecated two releases ago, and are older than 6 years,
so according to our support policy we can remove them.
This series only includes the 2.6 and 2.7 machines removal,
as it is a big enough number of LoC removed. Rest will
follow.
CCing libvirt folks
series removes some properties that has been used as compat
knobs with 2.6/2.7 machine types that are being removed.
However libvirt might still use them,
please check if being removed properties are safe to remove
as is | should be deprecated 1st | should be left alone
from an immediate user perspective.
