Hello, This patch series adds support to specify some descriptive help text to qdev device parameters. This series adds some help text to the virtserialport and net family of devices as an example, and the new output is shown in the respective commits.
This series also adds a new '-device help' option that lists all the available qdev devices (which is avl. via -device ? now), and adds each device's parameters to the output listing. This output also shows the descriptive text. The idea is to auto-generate documentation from code and to populate some wiki / qemu-doc.texi using this new target. Changes from previous send: - Removed the 'RFC' tag - Not using macros in net.h (Markus) It'll be helpful to have people submit some short descriptive text for the subsystems they care about.
