The '-old-param' command line option is specific to Arm targets; it is very briefly documented as "old param mode". What this option actually does is change the behaviour when directly booting a guest kernel, so that command line arguments are passed to the kernel using the extremely old "param_struct" ABI, rather than the newer ATAGS or even newer DTB mechanisms. This support was added back in 2007 to support an old vendor kernel on the akita/terrier board types: https://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2007-07/msg00344.html Even then, it was an out-of-date mechanism from the kernel's point of view -- the kernel has had a comment since 2001 marking it as deprecated. As of mid-2024, the kernel only retained param_struct support for the RiscPC and Footbridge platforms: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/2831c5a6-cfbf-4fe0-b51c-0396e5b0aeb7@app.fastmail.com/ None of the board types QEMU supports need param_struct support; mark this option as deprecated.
