We've never documented this option in our qemu-doc, so unless the users used qemu-kvm before, they never should never have been aware of this option. It's been marked as deprecated in the source code since a long time already, and officially marked as deprecated in the documentation since QEMU v2.10, so it should be fine to remove this now.
