[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 5/5] query-command-line-options: return help message for legacy options

[Amos Kong <akong@redhat.com>]

Some legacy options that have arguments weren't added to
vm_config_groups[], so query-command-line-options returns a
NULL parameters infolist. This patch try to return help message
for this kind of legacy options.

Example:
 {
     "helpmsg": "\"-vnc display    start a VNC server on display\\n\"",
     "parameters": [
     ],
     "option": "vnc"
 },
