Hello,
This series avoids compiling VFIO on 32-bit host platforms where it is
not needed.
If it was previously enabled on 32-bit and was possible to successfully
build & use, then it needs to go through the deprecation process - we
can't just rip out features with no prior warning.
well, x86 32-bit was the host platform I was not sure about and Alex
confirmed it worked. We would need deprecation for it I agree.
In any case this recently merged:

meson: Deprecate 32-bit host support
We deprecated i686 system mode support for qemu 8.0. However, to
make real cleanups to TCG we need to deprecate all 32-bit hosts.
oh. I missed that. Great, at last !
so 32-bit host support in general is nearing end of life. Given that,
I don't think we need to further limit 32-bit host for individual
features, just let it die all at once.
yes. Let's do that.
Now, I have to look more closely at those patches modifying VFIO for
32-bit support.
Thanks,
C.
