[PATCH v2 4/6] docs/about/deprecated: Deprecate the qemu-system-arm binary

2023-03-02 Thread Thomas Huth
qemu-system-aarch64 is a proper superset of qemu-system-arm, and the latter was mainly still required for 32-bit KVM support. But this 32-bit KVM arm support has been dropped in the Linux kernel a couple of years ago already, so we don't really need qemu-system-arm anymore, thus deprecated it now.
