This raises the question of what effect this should have on what
we do with the Beagleboard models in Linaro QEMU, since we don't
have a Panda model that we would move over to as our supported
model. Since this is the first EOL for a board we model, I don't
think we've thought about this before.

Here's my initial suggestion:
 * we will continue to hold the omap3/beagle qemu patches in
   qemu-linaro. We may try to get bits of them upstream in our
   copious free time but not as a priority.
 * users are welcome to report beagle related model bugs in
   launchpad but we won't spend any official effort on fixing them
 * beagle model will no longer be an obligatory part of qemu-linaro
   release testing

Does that seem reasonable or would another approach be better?

(OMAP3/Beagle model maintenance is at a very low priority anyway
so it wouldn't be a major change to go to "officially not working
on it". Actually dropping the OMAP3 patchset from qemu-linaro
would be a more abrupt change of direction.)
