Subject: [PATCH v2 00/16] hw/i386/pc: Remove deprecated 2.8 and 2.9 PC machines
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 10:20:08 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260225092024.794595-1-thuth@redhat.com> (raw)
The -2.8 and -2.9 machine types of the i440fx and q35 machines are
older than 6 years, so according to our support policy we can remove
them, together with a lot of the compatibility knobs that they were
using.
This is a respin of Philippe's original series here:
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20250501210456.89071-1-philmd@linaro.org
The following three patches still need a review:
- hw/pci/pcie: Remove QEMU_PCIE_EXTCAP_INIT definition
- hw/i386/x86-iommu: Remove X86IOMMUState::pt_supported field
- tests/qtest/test-x86-cpuid-compat: Remove the test with the i440fx-2.9 machine
Changes in v2:
- Rebased all patches to current master, and fixed the contextual conflicts
- Added Igor's Reviewed-bys
- Dropped the "hw/southbridge/ich9: Remove ICH9_LPC_SMI_F_BROADCAST_BIT
definition" patch since the code is still required (the guest can decide
whether to use this feature or not)
- Dropped the two "hw/nvram/fw_cfg" patches since Igor mentioned that it
still might be useful to keep this configuration knob
- Fix "hw/pci/pcie: Remove QEMU_PCIE_EXTCAP_INIT definition" according to
Igor's review
- Adjusted "hw/i386/x86-iommu: Remove X86IOMMUState::pt_supported field":
The problematic hunk has already been merged in upstream, so I dropped
it from this patch.
- Added the final patch to drop a qtest that required this machine
