I'm afraid this fails my smoke test:

    $ o=`sed -n '/HAS_ARG,/s/DEF("\([^"]*\)".*/\1/p' qemu-options.hx`
    $ for i in $o; do echo "= $i"; upstream-qemu -$i help -version; done 2>&1 | egrep -v 'QEMU emulator|Copyright'

Many output differences.  False positives due to help printing lists in
random order.  Arbitrarily picked true positive:

    $ upstream-qemu -msg help
    msg options:
      guest-name=<bool (on/off)> - Prepends guest name for error messages but only if -name guest is set otherwise option is ignored

      timestamp=<bool (on/off)>
    $ echo $?
    1

regresses to silent failure.
