-@subsection -fsdev handle (since 2.12.0)
-
-The ``handle'' fsdev backend does not support symlinks and causes the 9p
-filesystem in the guest to fail a fair amount of tests from the PJD POSIX
-filesystem test suite. Also it requires the CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH capability,
-which is not the recommended way to run QEMU. This backend should not be

+CPU topology properties should describe whole machine topology including

+
+However, historically it was possible to start QEMU with an incorrect topology
+where @math{@var{n} <= @var{sockets} * @var{cores} * @var{threads} < @var{maxcpus}},
+which could lead to an incorrect topology enumeration by the guest.
+Support for invalid topologies will be removed, the user must ensure

 These machine types are very old and likely can not be used for live migration
 from old QEMU versions anymore. A newer machine type should be used instead.
