docs/system: convert Texinfo documentation to rST
Apart from targets.rst, which was written by hand, this is an automated conversion obtained with the following command: makeinfo --force -o - --docbook \ -D 'qemu_system_x86 QEMU_SYSTEM_X86_MACRO' \ -D 'qemu_system QEMU_SYSTEM_MACRO' \ $texi | pandoc -f docbook -t rst+smart | perl -e ' $/=undef; $_ = <>; s/^- − /- /gm; s/QEMU_SYSTEM_MACRO/|qemu_system|/g; s/QEMU_SYSTEM_X86_MACRO/|qemu_system_x86|/g; s/(?=::\n\n +\|qemu)/.. parsed-literal/g; s/:\n\n::$/::/gm; print' > $rst In addition, the following changes were made manually: - target-i386.rst and target-mips.rst: replace CPU model documentation with an include directive - monitor.rst: replace the command section with a comment - images.rst: add toctree - target-arm.rst: Replace use of :math: (which Sphinx complains about) with :sup:, and hide it behind |I2C| and |I2C| substitutions. Content that is not @included remains exclusive to qemu-doc.texi.

+
+PowerPC System emulator
+-----------------------
+
+Use the executable ``qemu-system-ppc`` to simulate a complete 40P (PREP)
+or PowerMac PowerPC system.
+
+QEMU emulates the following PowerMac peripherals:
+
+- UniNorth or Grackle PCI Bridge
+
+- PCI VGA compatible card with VESA Bochs Extensions
+
+- 2 PMAC IDE interfaces with hard disk and CD-ROM support
+
+- NE2000 PCI adapters
+
+- Non Volatile RAM
+
+- VIA-CUDA with ADB keyboard and mouse.
+
+QEMU emulates the following 40P (PREP) peripherals:
+
+- PCI Bridge
+
+- PCI VGA compatible card with VESA Bochs Extensions
+
+- 2 IDE interfaces with hard disk and CD-ROM support
+
+- Floppy disk
+
+- PCnet network adapters
+
+- Serial port
+
+- PREP Non Volatile RAM
+
+- PC compatible keyboard and mouse.
+
+Since version 0.9.1, QEMU uses OpenBIOS https://www.openbios.org/ for
+the g3beige and mac99 PowerMac and the 40p machines. OpenBIOS is a free
+(GPL v2) portable firmware implementation. The goal is to implement a
+100% IEEE 1275-1994 (referred to as Open Firmware) compliant firmware.
+
+The following options are specific to the PowerPC emulation:
+
+``-g WxH[xDEPTH]``
+ Set the initial VGA graphic mode. The default is 800x600x32.
+
+``-prom-env string``
+ Set OpenBIOS variables in NVRAM, for example:
+
+ ::
+
+ qemu-system-ppc -prom-env 'auto-boot?=false' \
+ -prom-env 'boot-device=hd:2,\yaboot' \
+ -prom-env 'boot-args=conf=hd:2,\yaboot.conf'
