Bug Description

The options -mtdblock, -option-rom, and -pflash are severely under-documented. For example:

-mtdblock -- It isn't at all clear what this does from --help or the documentation, and it's especially not clear that it's only implemented for ARM right now

-option-rom is only implemented for a handful of architectures, including palm, pc, pci, and one or two others

-pflash looks to be implemented for most if not all architectures, but there's nothing informing the user that it replaces the bios if -bios isn't used in tandem with -pflash, and it isn't clear whether the user could add multiple pflash roms
