This reverts commit c9fd2d9a48.
When we introduced the specialized machine type deprecation policy, we
allow automatic deprecation to take effect immediately, but blocked the
automatic deletion of machine types for 2 releases. This ensured we
complied with the historical deprecation policy during the transition
window. Startnig with the 10.1.0 dev cycle, the old machine types would
be candidates for removal under both the old and new deprecation
policies.
Thus we can now enable automatic deletion of old machine types, which
takes effect by skipping the QOM type registration. This prevents the
machine types being listed with '-machine help', and blocks their
creation. The actual code can be purged at a convenient time of the
maintainer's choosing.
In the case of the x86_64 target, this change results in the blocking
of the following machine types:
