[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] net/slirp: Tell the users when they are using deprecated options

[Thomas Huth]

We don't want to support the legacy -tftp, -bootp, -smb and
-net channel options forever. So let's start telling the users
that they are deprecated and what option should be used instead.

 v2: Changed the texts to tell the users what options should be used instead.
