Also it's slowly bit-rots (for example: I was able to boot RHEL6 on RHEL9 h= ost in only TCG mode, while in KVM mode it hung in the middle of boot) Rather than spending time on fixing 'the oldest' no longer tested machine t= ype, deprecate it so we can clean up QEMU code from legacy fixups and hopefully make it easier to follow. Folks who have to use ancient guest that requires ISAPC can still use older QEMU to play with it.
