Adding the for 1.2 marking in the subject, to make it clear that this is
a "bug fix" for the fact that Anthony's QMP additions for libvirt were
incomplete, and should be pulled in now rather than delayed to 1.3.

s/eg/e.g./ (it is an abbreviation of the two-word phrase exempli gratia)

Or even better, since mixing 'e.g.' and 'etc.' in the same sentence
sounds stupid, just go with the much simpler:

@arch: the name of the target architecture (such as "x86_64" or "i686")

> +# @bits: number of bits in physical address (eg 32 or 64)

Ditto.
