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.
