Change slightly to: Aside from not supporting KVM on 32-bit hosts, the qemu-system-x86_64 binary is a proper superset of the qemu-system-i386 binary. With the 32-bit host support being deprecated, it is now also possible to deprecate the qemu-system-i386 binary. > With regards to 32-bit KVM support in the x86 Linux kernel, > the developers confirmed that they do not need a recent > qemu-system-i386 binary here: > > https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/Y%2ffkTs5ajFy0hP1U@google.com/ > > Signed-off-by: Thomas Huth > --- > docs/about/deprecated.rst | 12 ++++++++++++ > 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+) Reviewed-by: Daniel P.
