HAX is deprecated since commits 73741fda6c ("MAINTAINERS: Abort

Per the QEMU deprecation policy, we shouldn't remove it before
QEMU release v8.2.0. However per the latest HAXM release (v7.8),
the latest QEMU supported is v7.2:
Note: Up to this release, HAXM supports QEMU from 2.9.0 to 7.2.0.
(https://github.com/intel/haxm/releases/tag/v7.8.0)
The next commit (https://github.com/intel/haxm/commit/da1b8ec072)
added:
HAXM v7.8.0 is our last release and we will not accept
pull requests or respond to issues after this.
As of commit b455ce4c2f, it became very hard to build and test
HAXM. Its previous maintainers made it clear they won't help.
It doesn't seem to be a very good use of QEMU maintainers to
spend their time in a dead project. Save our time by removing
this orphan zombie code before the QEMU v8.2 release.

Hi Philippe,
now that 8.1 has been released, could you please update your patch by
removing this bad hunk and by updating the commit description?
Thanks,
Thomas
