virtio/s390: deprecate old transport
There only ever have been two host implementations of the old s390-virtio (pre-ccw) transport: the experimental kuli userspace, and qemu. As qemu switched its default to ccw with 2.4 (with most users having used ccw well before that) and removed the old transport entirely in 2.6, s390-virtio probably hasn't been in active use for quite some time and is therefore likely to bitrot. Let's start the slow march towards removing the code by deprecating it. Note that this also deprecates the early virtio console code, which has been causing trouble in the guest without being wired up in any relevant hypervisor code.
