Hi Markus,

this needs a little more work. I just had a look on the code,
and there is no online help for the possible options (key, value).

If you (and especially those who have commit rights) agree,
I could provide these three additional patches:

* Add online help for properties (qemu -device driver,?)
* Add online help for property value (qemu -device driver,property=?)
* Update documentation for command line option -device

There is already an online help for the driver (qemu -device ?).

Regards,

Stefan
