[PATCH 0/4] docs: Miscellaneous rST conversions


From: Peter Maydell
Subject: [PATCH 0/4] docs: Miscellaneous rST conversions
Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2020 15:41:17 +0000

This patchset converts some texi files used in qemu-doc.texi to rST:

 * docs/security.texi
 * qemu-tech.texi
 * qemu-deprecated.texi

which all end up as sections of the "system" manual.

In all cases, these pieces of the documentation are part of
the qemu-doc HTML file, but not included in the qemu.1 manpage,
so they are just a straightforward format conversion.

security and deprecated are pure conversions with only
changes to the formatting, not to the contents.

For qemu-tech.texi, a large part of it was an extremely out of
date and partial attempt to document the limitations of our
CPU emulation. Apart from a change to the Xtensa section in
2012, no part of the actual text seems to have been updated
since 2008. I judged it better to simply dump this rather
than carry it over. Creating an actually accurate section
about the limitations of the various guest architectures
is probably easier done from scratch if we want it and are
prepared to actually keep it up to date this time...

thanks
