Up to here is fine.

However, this chunk should be moved to appear after the '---' separator;
it's useful during review, but does not need to be part of qemu.git.

And this looks fishy, having two S-o-B with slightly different spellings
of your name.  Pick one and stick with it.

Now that we have the 'query-command-line-options' QMP command, I think
it's worth expanding that command to expose the default value of an
option, when one is given.  It's probably content for a separate patch
(util/qemu-config.c:query_option_descs() and qapi-schema.json), but
still belongs as part of this series.
