+The character "+" in device (and thus also CPU) names is not allowed
+in the QEMU object model anymore. ``power5+``, ``power5+_v2.1``,
+``power7+`` and ``power7+_v2.1`` are currently still supported via
+an alias, but for consistency these will get removed in a future
+release, too. Use ``power5p_v2.1`` and ``power7p_v2.1`` instead.
