[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

The following commits (released in v6.0.0) made raised the
quality of the TCI backend to the other TCG architectures,
thus is is not considerated experimental anymore:

- dc09f047edd..9e9acb7b348
- b6139eb0578..2fc6f16ca5e

- precise sysemu/user (Richard)

Supersedes: <20210920062306.2723797-1-f4bug@amsat.org>

+this is very slow and is not recommended for normal use. QEMU user emulation
+requires host-specific support for signal handling, therefore TCI won't help
+on unsupported host architectures.
 
 Non-supported architectures may be removed in the future following the
 :ref:`deprecation process<Deprecated features>`.
