This is not entirely dead, because it's what causes "qemu-arm -cpu help" to include "any" in its list. But we already don't list "any" for the qemu-aarch64 help output, so it's not really a problem to drop it from the qemu-arm equivalent list. I've applied this patch to target-arm.next with the commit message adjusted accordingly: ===begin=== target/arm: Remove entry for "any" from cpu32 arm_tcg_cpus[] list Since commit a0032cc5427 ("target/arm: Make 'any' CPU just an alias for 'max'") the 'any' CPU QOM type is never used, because we change "any" to "max" before creating the object. The array entry means we have an unnecessary type in the system, and the only user-visible effect is that "any" is listed in the "-cpu help" output for qemu-arm. (System emulation already doesn't include this array entry.) Since qemu-aarch64 already doesn't include "any" in its "-cpu help" output, we can reasonably drop it for qemu-arm also; remove the not-very-useful array entry. ===endit=== -- PMM
