Could you please consider deprecating the POWER8NVL and POWER8E CPUs
and associated chips and machines ? I think keeping POWER8 is fine
since it has different HW implementation from the following generations.
However, the POWER8NVL and POWER8E variants don't add much to QEMU.
They were practical at one point for bringup (2014). They are not
anymore.
This will remove some lpc peculiarities.
I don't know how we 'mark' something deprecated in qemu. Checked the git
history.
By deprecating, should I just mention it in deprecated section in
documentation like done for PSeries in commit 0cac0f1b ?
Or directly remove it ?
