I'm kind of hoping that moving to Sphinx for our docs toolchain will allow us to for instance have the board specific information in doc comments in each board source file, which could then be automatically assembled into the right documentation. The current manpages are autobuilt from the monolithic qemu-doc.texi, which is woefully out of date in many areas...

The current man page is primarily focused on x86, and therefore the information given is entirely wrong for e.g. arm, powerpc or s390x. NAME qemu-doc - QEMU Emulator User Documentation SYNOPSIS qemu-system-i386 [options] [disk_image] DESCRIPTION The QEMU PC System emulator simulates the following peripherals: - i440FX host PCI bridge and PIIX3 PCI to ISA bridge - Cirrus CLGD 5446 PCI VGA card or dummy VGA card with Bochs VESA extensions (hardware level, including all non standard modes). - PS/2 mouse and keyboard - 2 PCI IDE interfaces with hard disk and CD-ROM support - Floppy disk ... We should have target specific man pages, with the common options/settings factored out, so they are included in all target specific man pages. "man qemu-system-s390x" should give s390x specific (+common) information and "man qemu-system-x86_64" should contain x86 specific (+common) information.
