Bug Description
For full customization of the default set of hardware qemu supports, a user can pass -nodefaults and then manually specify each device they want. Many specific options document what they translate to in terms of the full configuration model; however, the defaults for any given platform don't.
I'd love to have documentation of the default hardware configuration, in terms of qemu command-line options, to make it easy to run qemu -nodefaults, paste in the default command-line, and edit it.
As this varies by emulated machine, perhaps qemu could have a command-line option to print a specific machine (e.g. pc-i440fx-2.5) in the form of qemu command-line options?

I think that just plain configuration in the manual could be enough.
The command line option is a very good idea, indeed.
Maybe also a monitor command could be helpful.
