Subject: [PATCH v11 19/28] docs: arm: update virt machine model description
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2025 11:02:31 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251121100240.89117-20-mohamed@unpredictable.fr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251121100240.89117-1-mohamed@unpredictable.fr>

Update the documentation to match current QEMU.

Remove the mention of pre-2.7 machine models as those aren't provided
anymore.
