[PATCH 0/8] Testcase improvements and Power8E/NVL removal

[Aditya Gupta <adityag@linux.ibm.com>]

Overview
========

This patch series merges two patch series sent earlier:
	"Testcase improvements for PowerNV"
	"Remove deprecated Power8E and 8NVL CPUs"
since the Power8E removal series depended on the former due to pnv-spi test

Broadly contains 3 changes:
1. Testcase improvements:
    Add a testcase to detect regression in remote interrupts when XIVE changes,
    since such regression had occurred during Power11 XIVE changes:
    https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/baf6c854-832b-4a2e-922f-d34e6dadf821@redhat.com/

    Also add Power11 chip and testcase in qtests, and fadump functional test

2. Power8E/Power8NVL removal
    Power8E and Power8NVL were deprecated since QEMU 10.1, with
    commit 264a604e7163 ("target/ppc: Deprecate Power8E and Power8NVL")
    
    Hence, remove usage (chip and core types) of Power8E and 8NVL from PowerNV,
    PSeries as well as testcases.

3. Maintainer changes
    Add myself as maintainer for PowerNV machine

Testing
=======

* Git tree for testing: https://gitlab.com/adi-g15-ibm/qemu/tree/feat_maintainer_refresh
* Gitlab pipeline: https://gitlab.com/adi-g15-ibm/qemu/-/pipelines/2622995621
* Successful ppc64 functional tests, qtests, boot tests, builds at all commits

Changelog
=========
from previous split series:
+ #1: added checks to see if network is up and interrupts happened, based on shivang's review
+ #3: replaced common if-else-if check for machine type with pnv_get_machine_type
+ #7: added doc in removed-features, as suggested by cedric
+ #6,7: added rb from philippe
+ #8: new patch, maintainer change
