This thread from a little over a year ago:
http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/sheepdog/2019-March/thread.html
states that sheepdog is no longer actively developed. The only mentioned
users are some companies who are said to have it for legacy reasons with
plans to replace it by Ceph. There is talk about cutting out existing
features to turn it into a simple demo of how to write a distributed
block service. There is no evidence of anyone working on that idea:
https://github.com/sheepdog/sheepdog/commits/master
No real commits to git since Jan 2018, and before then just some minor
technical debt cleanup.
There is essentially no activity on the mailing list aside from
patches to QEMU that get CC'd due to our MAINTAINERS entry.
Fedora packages for sheepdog failed to build from upstream source
because of the more strict linker that no longer merges duplicate
global symbols. Fedora patches it to add the missing "extern"
annotations and presumably other distros do to, but upstream source
remains broken.
There is only basic compile testing, no functional testing of the
driver.
Since there are no build pre-requisites the sheepdog driver is currently
enabled unconditionally. This would result in configure issuing a
deprecation warning by default for all users. Thus the configure default
is changed to disable it, requiring users to pass --enable-sheepdog to
build the driver.

It is currently unclear whether anybody is still using the 'moxie' CPU,
and there are no images for testing available this CPU, so the code has
likely bit-rotten in the course of time. When I asked the maintainer
for information, I did not get a reply within four weeks yet (see
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-08/msg07201.html).
The last Signed-off-by line from Anthony in our repo is from 2013,
so it seems like this code is rather unmaintained. Time to put it onto
the deprecation list to see whether somebody is still interested in this
code or whether we could remove it in a couple of releases.

commit 4bb4a2732e (numa: deprecate implict memory distribution between nodes)
Users of existing VMs, wishing to preserve the same RAM distribution,
should configure it explicitly using ``-numa node,memdev`` options.
Current RAM distribution can be retrieved using HMP command
`info numa` and if separate memory devices (pc|nv-dimm) are present
use `info memory-device` and subtract device memory from output of
`info numa`.

The sentence explaining the deprecation schedule is ambiguous. Make it
clear that a feature deprecated in the Nth release is guaranteed to
remain available in the N+1th release. Removal can occur in the N+2nd
release or later.
As an example of this in action, see commit
25956af3fe ("block: Finish deprecation of
'qemu-img convert -n -o'"). The feature was deprecated in QEMU 4.2.0. It
was present in the 5.0.0 release and removed in the 5.1.0 release.

Some machines don't have much differences a part from the flash model
being used. Introduce new machine properties to change them from the
command line.
For instance, to start the ast2500-evb machine with a different FMC
chip and a 64M SPI chip, use :
-M ast2500-evb,fmc-model=mx25l25635e,spi-model=mx66u51235f

According to
<https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/directives.html#parsed-literal>,
"inline markup is recognized and there is no protection from parsing.
Backslash-escapes may be necessary to prevent unintended parsing".
The qemu(1) manual page (formatted with Sphinx 2.2.2) has several overlong
lines on my system. A stand-alone backslash at EOL serves as line
continuation in a "parsed-literal" block. Therefore, escape the
backslashes that we want to appear as such in the formatted documentation.

Deprecate our lm32 target support. Michael Walle (former lm32 maintainer)
suggested that we do this in 2019:
https://www.mail-archive.com/qemu-devel@nongnu.org/msg605024.html
because the only public user of the architecture is the many-years-dead
milkymist project. (The Linux port to lm32 was never merged upstream.)
In commit 4b4d96c776 (March 2020) we marked it as 'orphan' in
the MAINTAINERS file, but didn't officially deprecate it. Mark it
deprecated now, with the intention of removing it from QEMU in
mid-2021 before the 6.1 release.

Deprecate our Unicore32 target support:
* the Linux kernel dropped support for unicore32 in commit
05119217a9bd199c for its 5.9 release (with rationale in the
cover letter: https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/8/3/232 )
* there is apparently no upstream toolchain that can create unicore32
binaries
* the maintainer doesn't seem to have made any contributions to
QEMU since the port first landed in 2012
* nobody else seems to have made changes to the unicore code except
for generic cleanups either
