``-old-param`` option for booting Arm kernels via param_struct (since 10.0)
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
The ``-old-param`` command line option is specific to Arm targets:
it is used when directly booting a guest kernel to pass it the
command line and other information via the old ``param_struct`` ABI,
rather than the newer ATAGS or DTB mechanisms. This option was only
ever needed to support ancient kernels on some old board types
like the ``akita`` or ``terrier``; it has been deprecated in the
kernel since 2001. None of the board types QEMU supports need
``param_struct`` support, so this option has been deprecated and will
be removed in a future QEMU version.
User-mode emulator command line arguments

QEMU project. Thus QEMU will in future drop the support for all
32-bit host systems.
linux-user mode CPUs
--------------------
iwMMXt emulation and the ``pxa`` CPUs (since 10.0)
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
The ``pxa`` CPU family (``pxa250``, ``pxa255``, ``pxa260``,
``pxa261``, ``pxa262``, ``pxa270-a0``, ``pxa270-a1``, ``pxa270``,
``pxa270-b0``, ``pxa270-b1``, ``pxa270-c0``, ``pxa270-c5``) are no
longer used in system emulation, because all the machine types which
used these CPUs were removed in the QEMU 9.2 release. These CPUs can
now only be used in linux-user mode, and to do that you would have to
explicitly select one of these CPUs with the ``-cpu`` command line
option or the ``QEMU_CPU`` environment variable.
We don't believe that anybody is using the iwMMXt emulation, and we do
not have any tests to validate it or any real hardware or similar
known-good implementation to test against. GCC is in the process of
dropping their support for iwMMXt codegen. These CPU types are
therefore deprecated in QEMU, and will be removed in a future release.
