Subject: [PATCH 02/15] meson: update unsupported host/CPU messages
Date: Sat,  2 Sep 2023 14:59:21 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230902125934.113017-3-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230902125934.113017-1-pbonzini@redhat.com>

Unsupported CPU and OSes are not really going away, but the
project simply does not guarantee that they work.  Rephrase
the messages accordingly.  While at it, move the warning for
TCI performance at the end where it is more visible.
