[PATCH v2] docs/about/deprecated: Mark HAXM in QEMU as deprecated |
Date: |

The HAXM project has been retired (see https://github.com/intel/haxm#status),
so we should mark the code in QEMU as deprecated (and finally remove it
unless somebody else picks the project up again - which is quite unlikely
since there are now whpx and hvf on these operating systems, too).

v2: Added a message to hax_accel_init(), too
