From 7558300c53057126514ee0fd5cf629c65ccc20e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Shen Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2024 09:30:16 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] qemu-options.hx: Don't claim "-serial" has limit of 4 serial ports Before v2.12, the implementation of serial ports was limited to a value of MAX_SERIAL_PORTS = 4. We now dynamically allocate the data structures for serial ports, so this limit is no longer present, but the documentation for the -serial options still reads: "This option can be used several times to simulate up to 4 serial ports." Update to "This option can be used several times to simulate multiple serial ports." to avoid misleading.
