The HPET setting has been turned into a machine property a while ago already, so we should finally do the next step and deprecate the legacy CLI option, too. Signed-off-by: Thomas Huth <thuth(a)redhat.com&gt; --- v2: - Rebased to current version from master branch / adjusted version info - Dropped the descrpition in hw/i386/pc.c (already done via another patch) Note: The "hpet" property should now show up in the output of the "query-command-line-options" QMP command since commit 2f129fc107b4a, so it should be feasible for libvirt now to properly probe for the property . docs/about/deprecated.rst | 6 ++++++ softmmu/vl.c | 1 + qemu-options.hx | 2 +- 3 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/docs/about/deprecated.rst b/docs/about/deprecated.rst index 93affe3669..2ae6a79b21 100644 --- a/docs/about/deprecated.rst +++ b/docs/about/deprecated.rst @@ -114,6 +114,12 @@ form is preferred.
