The -no-kvm* options are a remainder of the ancient "qemu-kvm" fork. They have never been officially documented in our qemu-doc, they have been marked as deprecated in the sources since a very long time, and we've marked them as deprecated in our qemu-doc since QEMU v2.10. So far I haven't seen any complaints that we should keep them, so it's time to remove these old parameters now.
While I'm at it, this patch series also removes a left-over from the "-tdf" option (which has been removed with QEMU v2.12) and fixes a deficiency in the option parsing code that has been revealed by the remainder of the "-tdf" option.
