From d12b64eaebd9f0df03c70422336c669a44ed2937 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Bonzini Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2021 14:48:03 +0200 Subject: vl: deprecate -watchdog -watchdog is the same as -device except that it is case insensitive (and it allows only watchdog devices of course). Now that "-device help" can list as such the available watchdog devices, we can deprecate it. Note that even though -watchdog tries to be case insensitive, it fails at that: "-watchdog i6300xyz" fails with "Unknown -watchdog device", but "-watchdog i6300ESB" also fails (when the generated -device option is processed) with an error "'i6300ESB' is not a valid device model name". For this reason, the documentation update does not mention the case insensitivity of -watchdog.
