[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] Issue a deprecation warning if the user specifies the "-hdachs" option.

[Thomas Huth]

If the user needs to specify the disk geometry, the corresponding
parameters of the "-drive" option should be used instead. "-hdachs"
is considered as deprecated and might be removed soon.
