The MMIO region size required to support virtualized environments with
large PCI BAR regions can exceed the hardcoded limit configured in QEMU.
For example, a VM with multiple NVIDIA Grace-Hopper GPUs passed through
requires more MMIO memory than the amount provided by VIRT_HIGH_PCIE_MMIO
(currently 512GB). Instead of updating VIRT_HIGH_PCIE_MMIO, introduce a
new parameter, highmem-mmio-size, that specifies the MMIO size required
to support the VM configuration.
Example usage with 1TB MMIO region size:
-machine virt,gic-version=3,highmem-mmio-size=1T

For loongarch, mips, riscv and sparc, a zero register is
available all the time. For aarch64, register index 31
depends on context: sometimes it is the stack pointer,
and sometimes it is the zero register.
Introduce a new general-purpose constraint which maps 0
to TCG_REG_ZERO, if defined. This differs from existing
constant constraints in that const_arg[*] is recorded as
false, indicating that the value is in a register.

Although defaulting the handshake limit to 10 seconds was a nice QoI
change to weed out intentionally slow clients, it can interfere with
integration testing done with manual NBD_OPT commands over 'nbdsh
--opt-mode'. Expose a command line option to allow the user to alter
the timeout away from the default. This option is unlikely to be used
in enough scenarios to warrant a short option letter.
The option --handshake-limit intentionally differs from the name of
the constant added in commit fb1c2aaa98 (limit instead of max_secs)
and the QMP name to be added in the next commit; this is because
typing a longer command-line name is undesirable and there is
sufficient --help text to document the units.

The general expectation is that header files should follow the same
file/path naming scheme as the corresponding source file. There are
various historical exceptions to this practice in QEMU, with one of
the most notable being the include/qapi/qmp/ directory.
include/qapi/qmp/dispatch.h corresponds mostly to qapi/qmp-registry.c.
Move and rename it to include/qapi/qmp-registry.h.
Now just qerror.h is left in include/qapi/qmp/. Since it's deprecated

The '-old-param' command line option is specific to Arm targets; it
is very briefly documented as "old param mode". What this option
actually does is change the behaviour when directly booting a guest
kernel, so that command line arguments are passed to the kernel using
the extremely old "param_struct" ABI, rather than the newer ATAGS or
even newer DTB mechanisms.
This support was added back in 2007 to support an old vendor kernel
on the akita/terrier board types:
https://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2007-07/msg00344.html
Even then, it was an out-of-date mechanism from the kernel's
point of view -- the kernel has had a comment since 2001 marking
it as deprecated. As of mid-2024, the kernel only retained
param_struct support for the RiscPC and Footbridge platforms:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/2831c5a6-cfbf-4fe0-b51c-0396e5b0aeb7@app.fastmail.com/
None of the board types QEMU supports need param_struct support;
mark this option as deprecated.

The pxa2xx CPUs are now only useful with user-mode emulation, because
we dropped all the machine types that used them in 9.2. (Technically
you could alse use "-cpu pxa270" with a board model like versatilepb
which doesn't sanity-check the CPU type, but that has never been a
supported config.)
To use them (or iwMMXt emulation) with QEMU user-mode you would need
to explicitly select them with the -cpu option or the QEMU_CPU
environment variable. A google search finds no examples of anybody
doing this in the last decade; I don't believe the GCC folks are
using QEMU to test their iwMMXt codegen either. In fact, GCC is in
the process of dropping support for iwMMXT entirely.
The iwMMXt emulation is thousands of lines of code in QEMU, and
is now the only bit of Arm insn decode which doesn't use decodetree.
We have no way to test or validate changes to it. This code is
just dead weight that is almost certainly not being used by anybody.
Mark it as deprecated.

Pointer authentication on aarch64 is pretty expensive (up to 50% of
execution time) when running a virtual machine with tcg and -cpu max
(which enables pauth=on).
The advice is always: use pauth-impdef=on.
Our documentation even mentions it "by default" in
docs/system/introduction.rst.
Thus, we change the default to use impdef by default. This does not
affect kvm or hvf acceleration, since pauth algorithm used is the one
from host cpu.
This change is retro compatible, in terms of cli, with previous
versions, as the semantic of using -cpu max,pauth-impdef=on, and -cpu
max,pauth-qarma3=on is preserved.
The new option introduced in previous patch and matching old default is
-cpu max,pauth-qarma5=on.
It is retro compatible with migration as well, by defining a backcompat
property, that will use qarma5 by default for virt machine <= 9.2.
Tested by saving and restoring a vm from qemu 9.2.0 into qemu-master
(10.0) for cpus neoverse-n2 and max.
