I think this is a slightly different case than what is in http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/LegacyRemoval. TCI is enabled only with a specific configure argument if your machine is not supported by TCG. This would break _build_ configurations, not user configurations. It's a remote possibility that users are building their own QEMU, with TCI enabled, to work around a TCG bug. So we can be more speedy in removing the code. Paolo
