Title:
  Provide target specific qemu man pages

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  Right now, all qemu target binaries (qemu-system-...) share the same
  man page.

  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.
