From 5a0e75f0a9ad063ebaa7eb19b82104f00acb80a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Huth Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2018 14:13:25 +0100 Subject: hw/misc/ivshmem: Remove deprecated "ivshmem" legacy device It's been marked as deprecated in QEMU v2.6.0 already, so really nobody should use the legacy "ivshmem" device anymore (but use ivshmem-plain or ivshmem-doorbell instead). Time to remove the deprecated device now. Belatedly also update a mention of the deprecated "ivshmem" in the file docs/specs/ivshmem-spec.txt to "ivshmem-doorbell". Missed in commit 5400c02b90b ("ivshmem: Split ivshmem-plain, ivshmem-doorbell off ivshmem"). Signed-off-by: Thomas Huth Reviewed-by: Markus Armbruster Reviewed-by: Michael S.
